Does everyone that applies take the Imbellus/PST?

Hi Anonmyous,

Distributed after the first screening - would be a waste of time for everyone involved to prepare and take the test if your application is sorted out in the first step already..

Hope that helps - if so, please be so kind and give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote below!

Hi,

They're distributed after the first screening. So, if you've been asked to take it..well done!

Hi,

the Imbellus/PST are given to the candidates that pass the CV screening, thus not all the people that apply have to do it, only the successful ones to the CV screening

Hi there,

I know candidates who did not receive the invitation for the Imbellus, so at the moment the test is not sent to everyone by default.

If you want to prepare in the best possible way, I created a guide exactly on that.

This guide will:

• Show you the perfect strategy for each of the 4 Game Scenarios
• Explain every single part of the Game with ad-hoc pictures
• Detail the exact steps to improve in the 5 Skills tested in the game
• Provide you insider information from previous applicants who succeeded in the game
• Reveal the must-know answers to the most common questions on the Imbellus
• Offer you a ready-to-use Excel template to maximize results in Scenario 1 with a detailed tutorial 

The guide will cover every single part of the Game, so you can be 100% confident the day of the assessment, without worrying “I should have prepared better for this”. You won’t need any additional material to prepare after it.

Here is a screenshot of the guide:

You can download the guide instantly here:

As an extra bonus, I am offering for a limited time the Consulting Industry Cheat Sheet (worth $29) for free with the guide. You will get access to key insights of the 17 most common industries in case interviews.

If you need additional support or have any questions on the guide please feel free to PM me, I am happy to provide extra tips for free.

Best,

Francesco

Hello!

No, indeed no. There are some candidates who skip it, those who come from specific recruting events. 

In any case, Imbellus is the 1st cut. Hence, getting the invite is indeed good news. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi,

You first need to pass the screening stage (resume and cover letter review). Following this, not all candidates are invited to take the digital assessment or PST - for instance for some MBA schools (like INSEAD), McKinsey is skipping this stage and inviting the candidates to the first round of interviews.

Dear A,

If you pass CV screening, then you will get an inviatation for Imbellus/PST
