McKinsey PST Test

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).

Make sure you're doing adequate case prep: https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/how-to-shift-your-mindset-to-ace-the-case

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

  • the way the algorithm works (every game and candidate is different + there is a process score as well)
  • some offices putting more weight on the resume than others

Fingers crossed!

Cheers,

Florian

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