Solve game results validity period

Dear community,

how long is the result of the game “Solve” by McKinsey valid for?

I have passed it at the end of last year and I am intrested if my results can be transferred for application now 9 months later.

There was a personal reason why I did not go through with my application last year. This year it is another role. Thanks.

Hey there,

For most McKinsey offices, the results are valid for 12 months. If you apply before that period, they will take into account your old test scores.

Be aware that there is no pass or fail but the Solve is always looked at in combination with a couple of other metrics (resume, current demand and supply of applicants and their quality/results,…).

To prepare for your interviews, have a look at the articles that I wrote here:

All the best,

The game should be valid for a year so results should transfer, if not speak to recruiting team in case it does not happen 

Thanks

Hi there,

Q: How long is the result of the game “Solve” by McKinsey valid for?

The score is usually valid for 12 months. You can double-check with HR, but if you apply before that you should not have to take it again.

Good luck!

Hi there,

The game is valid for a year, so yes the results should be automatically transferred.
