McKinsey PSG Imbellus Prep

Hi all,

I would like some advice on McKinsey PSG Imbellus game in terms of preparation. 
So I've purchased Francesco's package and MConsulting prep packages and have basically been following the practice tests and simulations available on those + watching youtube simulations. Will complete 2 weeks of full time practice by the time the test rolls around.

1. Would it be possible for anyone who got through the test to just let me know what your preparation was like and how long you prepped for? 
2. Are there any tips you have on how to approach the last week of prep+the day itself?
3. Now McKinsey has ecosystem game+redrock and in rare cases the oceans one - but plant defense has been removed?

Thank you!!

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from McKinsey!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your questions:

  • First of all, I would advise you not to worry about your preparation if you base it on the MConsultingPrep simulation.
  • Moreover, yes, plant defense was removed a longer time ago already.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming McKinsey interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

1+2: If you consistently perform well on the MCP simulation, you should do well on the real game!

3. The plant defense/tower defense has not been seen with live candidates since more than a year now! :-)

All the best,

Florian
