Query: Online test

Dear team,

To my knowledge that Mckinsey has replaced its online test with a sort of game? Does that mean the PST Mckinsey in this part is irrelevant anymore?

Thanks

Hi there,

1) Mckinsey has replaced its online test with a sort of game? 

Correct, in most countries they moved from the PST to the Problem Solving Game (aka PSG, Solve Game or Imbellus).

2) Does that mean the PST Mckinsey in this part is irrelevant anymore?

If you have to prepare for the Problem Solving Game, you won’t have to take the PST.

You can find an article on the game below with a few tips:

 McKinsey Problem Solving Game Article

If you want to prepare further, you can find below a video simulation with:

  • 15 videos showing how to crack the Ecosystem Game in 23 minutes (instead of the recommended 35) and resist 25+ turns in the Plant Defense (instead of the minimum target of 15)
  • Automated Excel with Formulas to build a food chain in the Ecosystem game in 16 minutes
  • PDF guide with all the 5 games and how to crack each of them

You can check the video simulation at the following link - full disclosure, I am the author ;)

In case you have any other questions on the game please feel free to PM me, happy to help.

Best,

Francesco

Hello!

There are plenty of materials regarding the Imbellus game in the Shop, if you want to have a look. 

 

Cheers,

Hi there,

For the most part McKinsey has replaced the PST with the Imbellus.

They will let you know, and once they do I highly recommend you use the resources available out there!

Practicing the game (or reading about it) beforehand is helpful!
