Hi there,

It might be days or it might be weeks - this depends on office, timing, channel, etc. Just sit tight!

Most applicants do receive the test, but again it does depend on office/country, role, channel, etc.

The best thing you can do right now is prepare for your case interview. This takes months to get ready for…the Imbellus can be learned in under a week (i.e. you'll have plenty of time once notified)

Hey there,

1. Yes, you will have to go through the test if your application is accepted.
2. Depends on the office. Not every applicant will get to the Imbellus stage, yet the criteria for getting selected are definitely lower than before (for the PST) as McKinsey tries to increase its hiring base. In other offices, the Imbellus is only conducted for candidates already invited to the first-round interviews.

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there, 

There's no set timeline. It really depends on the geography and office. On average though, I'd say it should take between a couple of days and up to a month between application submission and invite for the test.

You need to first pass the CV screening stage to be invited to take the test. Then if you pass the test, you are invited to the actual interviews. 

Best,

Cristian

Hello!

No, not everyone gets the invite for the Imbellus. Indeed that it´s the first cut, the CV one. 

If you do pass, should be getting it around 2 weeks after, approx. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,
