Hello all,

I have just given the Mckinsey PSG (imbellus game) and I think I passed. I got the ecosystem game where I created a sustainable chain and then the plant defence where I passed all rounds reaching 48 Turns on the last round.

Does this mean that I will move on to interviews?  Do you know the success rate of this test? 


Thanks,

Hi there,

It seems you had a great performance. Having said that:

  1. The game also tests how you got to the final answer
  2. I know cases where the test was assigned before the CV screening and they evaluated the test with the other application material

So I would say very promising but you will still have to wait for a final confirmation.

Good luck!

Francesco

Hello Francesco, They reached out to me one week after my application asking for my transcripts and work references.I sent everything and then they sent me an email saying congratulations you moved to the next step, the digital assessment. I guess that means they evaluated my cv. Anyway all I can do is wait and see. Thank you very much for your answer. Best regards,

Francesco on Mar 08, 2022

Hi there, yes, in this case it seems they have already done so. When they don’t evaluate the CV, you normally get the link shortly after the application and no comment on your docs – this happened for a few MBA schools in the past. Good luck!

Hey there,

From what you have written, it sounds like you will make it to the next round. The success rate is not known since other factors count as well but it is believed to be around 50-60ish%.

In any case, I would definitely start with preparing for the interviews now. To guide your preparation, please have a look at the following resources I created:

  1. Case interview: https://www.preplounge.com/en/mckinsey-interview
  2. PEI: https://www.preplounge.com/en/mckinsey-pei

Cheers,

Florian

Dear candidate,

it is looking good, although there is no guarantee. I wish you the very best and let's be hopeful. It is great to do well on the tests, note though that they also evaluate many other factors. But you have established a great base

Hi there,

Well done first of all!

There's two questions here to which we don't know the answer:

  1. Did you actually pass Solve? → Quite possibly but not certain.
  2. Does your application/CV meet the criteria? → As pointed out by Francesco, they may not have gotten around to assessing it yet. However, it's more likely that they have. In that case, you're on track. However, we can't be certain.

Bottom line - we don't know but there's every reason to be positive! Keeping my fingers crossed!
