Hi there,

Q: I have received the mckinsey game invitation two days ago and I have 10 days to do it( as mentioned in the email). The sooner the better? Or i can do it anytime before the 10 days?

You can do it anytime in the period they mentioned. I would do the test once you feel ready.

You can find an article on the game below with a few tips:

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

In case you have any other questions on the game please feel free to PM me, happy to help.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there, 

Congrats on getting invited to the test!

Feel free to do it at any point until the deadline. What matters is the result, not when you actually did it. If I were you, I'd try to practice as much as possible before the actual deadline. There are several guides online that will help you get an accurate understanding of what to expect in the game. 

Best,

Cristian

But as shown in the email its written that i have to open the link as soon as possible as openings will be filled. Bellow is there message in the email. 2. Select a starting window Do this as soon as possible as openings can fill up. This window represents when you can begin the assessment. You can select or reschedule with the same link. We recommend finding a quiet space free from distractions. We would recommend allocating yourself 90 minutes to complete the assessment.

Hi there,

In short: As long as you do it within the allocated time window, it makes no difference.

All the best!

It's not about when you do it but how well. If when you did it made a difference they would tell you in the email they sent.

Hi there,

These people are wrong! As long as you do it within 10 days it doesn't matter when you do it!

Highly recommend you use practice material (like Francesco's Imbellus guide) to optimize your chances.
