Hi Everyone, 

Does anyone know how long does it take to get the results of the McKinsey PSG game after you complete it? by results I mean whether you will be moved to the next level which is interviews or no. 

Thank you all!

Hi there,

Q: Does anyone know how long does it take to get the results of the McKinsey PSG game after you complete it?

Usually they let you know within 2 weeks of the test but I also helped a few candidates that heard back after 1 month or more.

The response time is not necessarily correlated with the performance (I helped candidates who waited almost two months and passed).

Good luck!

Thank you for your response. I hope that the redrock part will not impact their decision negatively because I did well in ecosystem then the redrock part wasn’t clear.

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from McKinsey!

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

  • First of all, you should hear back from McKinsey about the next steps in the application process within two weeks. However, please keep in mind that lead times in strategy consulting application processes currently fluctuate quite a bit.
  • Moreover, I would highly advise you not to succumb to the fallacy of believing that the speed of feedback is related to your performance in any step of the application process.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hello A,

The timeline for receiving results after completing the McKinsey Problem Solving Game (PSG) can vary, but typically it takes about 1-2 weeks to receive a response.

In the meantime, prep cases!

Best of luck!

Hi there,

McKinsey usually gets back within a few days. Do note that nowadays, given the very tight hiring situation and their back office restructuring, the firm tends to take more time before they get back, at least from my experience. 

That said, as Ian mentioned, do make sure you're ramping up on casing ahead of time to avoid unnecessary time pressure.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Andi

It really depends on the office and at what point in the hiring cycle you completed the game. I would expect that you would need to wait 1-3 weeks to get a response. 

Good luck!

Hello,

Usually a couple of weeks! If it's been over 3 weeks and you're still waiting, you should feel free to reach out to HR and politely ask about the status of your application. But, as others here have pointed out, remember that wait time is not correlated with performance at all!

The timing for receiving the results of the McKinsey Problem Solving Game (PSG) can vary. In general, candidates can expect to receive feedback within a few days to a couple of weeks after completing the game. However, this may depend on the number of candidates being evaluated and the capacity of the recruiting team to review and assess the results. If you have not received feedback after a few weeks, you may want to follow up with the recruiting team to inquire about the status of your application.
