McKinsey PST Test Practice Questions

Dear all,

I have completed all the PST sample tests available on McKinsey website and I was wondering if any of you have more practice questions that you would be kind enough to share. I have my PST exam with McKinsey in 2 weeks and I've never recruited for consulting before. It's quite the transition considering that I used to work for the UN, so if any of you guys can offer me any advice, that would be also much appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
