Hi, I heard that the PST was removed from the process (at least in France) ? Do you know if that's true ?

The McKinsey Personal Experience Interview is one of the most talked-about features today in consulting applications. It differs significantly from the personal fit interview conducted at BCG, Bain, or any other consulting firm. While the content of the interview has not changed in many years, most candidates are still a bit lost when it comes to preparing for it.

One of the many obstacles to overcome on the path of pursuing your consultant career at McKinsey is the written problem-solving game. Of course, practicing for your case interview should always be the focus of your case prep, as even the best problem-solving game results cannot compensate a bad case interview performance. However, because of the extreme time pressure you face during the problem-solving game, a good level of preparation and exercise is necessary here, as well. Sadly, many candidates make the mistake of completely neglecting the problem-solving game preparation and thus, fail in landing their dream McKinsey job offer. There is only so much practice you can do and so it’s more about developing a strategy to ensure you don’t lose against time. This can be frustrating and hard work, but it will be worth it to get you that McKinsey job offer. Follow our guide and ace your McKinsey Problem Solving Game!
