Hello People!
I have my McKinsey problem solving test later this week. Can someone recommend resources outside of the three practice tests that Mckinsey shares. Would love to know how are other people preparing. If someone can share a paper they received in their PST in the past, that would be helpful too.
Does anyone have any idea on what should be a good accuracy level to qualify this test?
Hello,
I am preparing for the PST as well and I have reserached extensively all available resources. The three official tests are obviously the best practice, but they are just 3, and I really wanted to give the best on that day. Among all the sources, I found that the best ones are on myconsultingcoach.com , mainly for three reasons:
Hope it helps!

Hello Mehak,
I'm a former McKinsey consultant and graduate of Harvard & MIT.
I have written an online course specifically designed to teach the Quant Skills needed to succeed in Management Consulting interviews (called FastMath Crack the Case). The course focuses on teaching practical calculation techniqies for situations when you can use a calculator or spreadsheet (FastMath) and how to apply them to the quant section of consulting interview questions.
The FastMath calcualtion technqiues are really great for the PST, and there are a couple of lessons on Advanced Quant methods specifically for the PST, such as how to accurately compound interest (e.g. 8% growth over 5 years). While it's not a comprehensive PST course, I think the methods in the course are really helpful for the PST. I have also taught in-person Workshops on preparing for the PST for the PhD consulting clubs at Harvard & MIT. In the long term, I'd like to create more material on how to apply the FastMath methods to McKinsey PST problems, but this isn't ready yet.
