What is a good PSG score?

Question

I just took the test and was able to complete the ecosystem in 36 minutes and survive for 32, 29 and 42 rounds on the tower defense game.

What numbers/time are considered to be above average or good enough to land an inteview?

I got a little bit confused by the end of the ecosystem and had to change one animal from my initial selection for the chain. Nevertheless, I'm sure all 8 of them survied from what I have on my notes.

Answer 1

Hey there,

It sounds like an above average score, for sure!

Always hard to tell from the outside since McKinsey also looks at your process score but I would expect a positive result based on your insights.

Fingers crossed!

Hi there,

The plant defense game requires to resist 15+ turns, after that the more the better.

From what you shared, it seems you had a great performance. Having said that:

The game also tests how you got to the final answer
I know cases where the test was assigned before the CV screening and they evaluated the test with the other application material

So looks promising but you will still have to wait for a final confirmation.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Hi there,

That's a good score!

If all 8 survived and you completed that in a reasonable time, and you lasted 20+ rounds in tower defense that's great!

Answer 4

Hi there,

This sounds above average, but for most offices they tend to weight in the score at the test with the CV and cover letter and then they also compare it with the rest of the candidates they have in the pipeline. So it's a bit difficult to know whether based on the score alone it's a pass or a fail.

Best,

Cristian

Answer 5

Hello!

That sounds very promising!

However, bear in mind that it´s not only the game results, but the application is considered holistically taking also into consideration other factors such as CV and trajectory.
