Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, since both the study and the cases may differ, it depends.
  • Moreover, generally speaking, to complete what other coaches have said, you should be comfortable with basic mathematical operations, percentages, growth rates, descriptive statistics, and data visualization.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming McKinsey Solve pre-interview assessment and McKinsey interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hey! 

I would suggest you to focus on basic arithmetic, percentages, ratios, and quick data interpretation, as these are essential for understanding trends and making rapid calculations. Skills in estimation and rounding will help you respond efficiently under time pressure, while a basic grasp of probability, averages, and statistical reasoning will support data-based decisions. Practicing these areas will enhance your speed and accuracy, key to succeeding in the game’s dynamic environment.

Best, Alessa
