cloud engineer consultant coding test

Hello, I was told to have a 1.5 - 2hr long Mckinsey online assessment to test my coding skills(not sure about the platform, e.g. hackerank or quanthub). I wonder how difficult the questions might be? I am being a software engineer for almost a decade but hardly working on any textbookish algorithm questions.

I see some posts's answer saying there're multi choice questions, is that true or where should I put my focus on?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Hua,

To be honest this isn't the best platform for this question :/ We are case coaches for strategy consulting not for engineering/developers.

I would recommend Blink, Reddit, and Fishbowl to you!
