Going Over Time in Ecosystem game

Hello, I recently participated in McKinsey's online assessment game. For the first game, the ecosystem game, while I was able to get all 8 species correctly, I went (2-3) minutes over the time required. The game indicated that I could submit my results. Does anyone know if this has any impact on the results?

Hi! From my experience at MBB and talking to candidates, going slightly over time in the ecosystem game isn't necessarily a dealbreaker, especially if you got all species correctly. The assessment looks at both accuracy and efficiency, so while timing matters, the fact that you completed it correctly is a strong point. Feel free to reach out if you'd like more insights—happy to help!
