Hi Zoltan,

I agree with Livia and Costas, the test is more similar to GRE/GMAT quant sections – you won’t need graph analysis or PST style practice. Some suggestions to go faster with the math:

• Divide complex math in smaller logical steps: if you have to compute 96*39, you can divide it in 96*40 - 96*1 = 100*40 - 4*40 - 96*1 = 4000 – 160 – 100 + 4 = 3744
• Use shortcuts: the most useful to know are:
  • Fractions, at least 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9
  • Cubes, ideally till 19^2
• Practice: GMAT and GRE books (quant part) would be enough for the preparation

Best,

Francesco

Hello, I completed this test in the Munich Office at the end of september, it is more a GMAT test than a MCK/BCG online test. Math questions (e.g. two fractions and you have to state which one is higher) and logical/reasoning questions. cheers and good luck

Hi,

I've had this test twice (for separate applications). It's more a GMAT-like format test, not McKinsey/BCG style test. Even though there were some pretty simple questions, I'd say that the level of difficulty increases significantly after the 14-16th question (or at least that was my impression for both tests). You may think that 30 minutes is enough for 18 questions, but honestly you'll need all 30 minutes to answer them and you may still be in a rush to solve the last (and more difficult) questions. The good thing though is that you're allowed to go back, so you can change your answer if you want. Prepare yourself as you would do for any GMAT-like numerical test.

Good luck!
