McKinsey SHL Test

Question

Hi all, I have a couple of questions regarding the McKinsey SHL Test (Milan office).

In particular, the time provided seems to be 45 minutes for the Verbal Reasoning part and 45 minutes for the Numerical Reasoning part - does anyone know how many questions there are for each part?

I have practiced these tests on jobtestprep.com but tried the CEB SHL and it seems structured in a different way - in particular, for each question a new graph/table/scenario is shown, which makes it harder to complete all the questions in the given time (whereas on jobtestprep 3+ questions were based on the same graph). Does anyone have a clue on how the McK test is actually structured/have some template questions?

Thanks in advance,

Claudia

Answer 1

Dear Claudia,

I completed the SHL a couple of weeks ago. Regarding the numerical one i had 25 questions in 18 minutes, while the simulation was 25 for 25. So my suggestion is to do the simulation faster than the time provided. The verbal one was the same as the simulation.

With regards to your other question, i am sorry i don't have have anything more than the simulations on the website you mentioned.

Hope it helped

Answer 2

Hi All,

For the verbal reasoning section the practice questions I have been doing have been structured in the following way:

1 passage with 3-4 questions on that passage. Is the McKinsey SHL the same format or does each question come with a new passage?

Thanks!

Answer 3

Hi Claudia,

Can you please describe the test you took, timing, difficulty compared to practice on shl or jobtestprep and if it's the questions follow each other (3-4 questions for the same math problem or paragraph).
