I was invited to take the online assessment in a few weeks for a position in McKinsey & Co. Wondering what is the best approach to prepare for the numerical part of the SHL, are there any good resources to learn fast math tricks? I've tried a few practice tests but still feel a bit short in time, as I only get a few seconds to solve each question.
Also, does anyone know what the minimum score is to pass to the interview round?

There are many mental math tricks out there that come in handy; other interesting tricks include e.g. multiplying two numbers that are close to 100.
Enjoy :)
Best regards

For fast math tricks, rocketblocks can be helpful! My coachees are getting great results with that.
