Hi,
I gave the McKinsey test, but for the ecosystem game, I wasn't able to make a complete sustainable chain within the time frame. For plant defence did ok, with 28-30 moves for all 3 rounds.
Do you think there is any chance to move forwards for the next rounds or should I concentrate my energy on other firms?
Yes and Yes…
Yes you still stand a chance.
Yes you should concentrate your energy on other firms.
With a 5-10% acceptance rate at Mckinsey the only option ever was to concentrate on multiple firms!
I personally applied to 30+ companies when I recruited…it blows my mind that people approach this as “McKinsey or nothing” or “MBB or nothing”.
Get networking + applying to other firms, regardless as to how McKinsey is going (until there's an offer in hand).

Hey there,
Yes, I know cases with similar performance that made it through the filter, however from the outside it is always hard to guess due to
Fingers crossed!

You have a chance. Even if you pass this test your chances are low. You should ALWAYS put energy in multiple consulting firms.
