McKinsey Solve game
I have this invitation from McKinsey to do this game as a first step in the process. I never practiced this game before but thankfully I have 2 weeks to submit.
For those who passed, would genuinely appreciate some tips and advice on how to pass. Any (affordable) practice material out there?
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help?
bump?
bump indeed - very curious.
Hard to practice for I'm afraid.
I quite enjoyed it because I played a bit of strategy-type computer games when I was younger. If you are familiar with those it is somewhat similar with a bit more math/number intuition needed
could try acethesolve... probably the most reasonably priced option
Paid for a simulation (40-50 USD). Practices the ecosystem building plus assesses the note taking portion of the game. Although I think the game (research island) is a bit easier than the simulation I paid for.
Did you end up passing?
Yes I did. There’s YouTube vids that even help on this lol. Don’t feel too stressed, as such a large firm, the are resources all over the internet. Good luck!
Just got the invite to do it-this isn’t an automated process, right? Or does everyone who applies receive this game to do?
Called an EM and he said it depends on the office. He says in my office it’s 99% not automated and said that consultants review CVs immediately as submitted. He said it depends for other offices.
I’ve also heard from my friend in a DACH office that all applicants who get the test will also get an interview as well and performance on the test + interview will be assessed jointly. I think if true this is specific to DACH offices because they recruit differently on a “fellowship programme” as opposed to regular BA/Assoc.
Perfect. Thank you for the quick response.
Got my invite earlier today as well. What office were you?
YALL when do we find out whether we passed the test... i just took lolz
Ace the Solve is by far the best value material/simulation offering for McKinsey Solve. Let me know if you have any questions or want to discuss what it can do.
Spoken from a truly unbiased source 🙄.
To others visiting this thread: you do not need to pay for any Solve preparation materials at all. Just look at how the format is on YouTube, and it’s simple after that.
