McKinsey’s Solve assessment

Hi everyone,
I’ve just been invited to take McKinsey’s Solve assessment as part of my internship application. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with it and could share preparation tips. Are there any practice versions, simulations, or resources available to train for Solve?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey there :)

Congrats on the invite! The Solve assessment doesn’t really require memorizing content—it’s more about structured logical thinking under time pressure. There aren’t many official practice tests, but you can prepare by getting familiar with probability, resource allocation, and ecosystem-style logic problems. The key is to stay calm, approach each scenario step by step, and be consistent in your decisions.

If you want, I can also point you to a game-like practice tool that simulates the ecosystem logic, but honestly you can do well just by training clear reasoning.

best, Alessa :)
