I’ll be taking the McKinsey Problem Solving Game soon.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has done it recently about the two parts of the game
(Planet Defense and Red Rock Study).
Is the ecosystem exercise no longer part of the assessment?
How can i prepare in the most appropriate way?
Are there any common mistakes or things I should avoid?
are there any recommended YouTube channels or resources that explain the game well?
Congrats on being invited to the test!
Indeed, those are the two games that candidates are currently reporting they're receiving. So it's likely you'll receive the same as well.
You're probably aware that there are simulations on the market. You could consider some of those.
Otherwise, there are also lots of free videos on youtube or in other places that give you a good sense of what to expect.
Last but not least, do your absolute best on the test, but also remember that whether you get invited to the interview or not depends also on the other components of your application (CV, CL, referral).
Best,
Cristian
Right the games candidates are seeing are Planet Defense and the Red Rock.
