Upon clicking on the McKinsey Solve assessment link and accepting the Terms & Conditions, I’m prompted to click “Get Started.” Before clicking, I wanted to check whether this will take me through to the scheduling page (mentioned in email) or it will actually start the assessment

Clicking "Get Started" will take you into the actual assessment. It is not a scheduling page. Once you click, the timer starts and you are in it.

Do not click until you are fully ready. Make sure you have a stable internet connection, a quiet space, and roughly 60 to 70 minutes of uninterrupted time. Use a laptop or desktop, not your phone.

The Solve assessment typically has two games that test problem solving and critical thinking. You cannot pause midway or come back later. Once it starts, it starts.

Take a breath, set yourself up properly, and go for it when you are ready.

I wouldn't. Not until you're actually ready to 'Get Started'. 

If you have any questions about the test itself, then ask the recruiter, but don't try to go through multiple windows of the test without planning on actually doing it.

Once you click “Get Started” after accepting the Terms and Conditions, you are usually taken to the scheduling page first, not directly into the assessment. McKinsey typically lets you select your preferred time slot before the actual Solve starts.

That said, make sure you are in a calm environment with stable internet before clicking, just in case the flow differs slightly. But in the standard process, the assessment does not begin immediately without scheduling.

Hi there,

Get started will start the assessment, not schedule the assessment. The assessment is not with anyone so you wouldn't need to schedule it.
