Mckinsey SOLVE game

Hi there,

Q: Did anyone pass the SOLVE assessment- Mckinsey? Appreciate any useful sources for preparation/tips 

You can find an article below with a few tips:

If you want to prepare further, you can find below a video simulation with:

• 23 videos showing how to crack the Ecosystem Game in 23 minutes (instead of the recommended 35), resist 25+ turns in the Plant Defense (instead of the minimum target of 15) and prepare for the 4 Phases of the new Redrock Study (including tips for the 10 cases)
• Automated Excel with Formulas to build a food chain in the Ecosystem game in 13 minutes
• PDF guide with all 6 possible games and how to crack each of them

You can check the video simulation at the following link (full disclosure, I am the author):

Recently, I took SOLVE andit is not as difficult as portrayed by the consulting websites and packages. I purchased a trusted guide, but I do not recommend it. If you are in the US, it is likely that you will have the ecosystem followed by redrock or plant defense(even easier than red rock). Contrary to what mconsultingprep and other guides suggest (which might lack up-to-date information due to the constantly evolving nature of the red rock game), red rock is actually very simple. I had an ample amount of time available, in fact, I believe I used only a fifth of the allotted time, despite my limited math skills. My recommendation would be to read through the mconsultingprep article on approaching the ecosystem (from the top down like a predator) and ensure that you are proficient in performing calculations for percent increase and decrease. There is no complexity beyond those calculations (literally).

Hello,

I definitely recommend accessing some online practice test and simulations. I have heard from other candidates that Francesco's is quite good - feel free to PM me if you want more details on that!

Hi there,

I highly recommend MConsultingPrep's course (you can literally play the game to practice) or Francesco's guide.

I have nothing to gain from the above, but would 100% recommend. I understand the below comment saying it's “easy” , but I also think it's a no-brainer to invest to make 100% certain you pass for the #1 consulting firm out there.

Hi there, 

Many people do :) 

Hope you'll also be one of them. 

I'd suggest you start with googling it (yes, I know that's pretty obvious) and you'll be surprised at how many resources are out there.

Best,
Cristian
