Mckinsey Solve Case Study

Hi Shivam,

Q: I took the solve assessment today and found out that round 2 has a case study with 3 parts followed by 10 individual cases to be solved. Has anyone done this before, if yes, were you able to solve the whole problem in time?

This is the new version of the game that McKinsey recently implemented globally. It includes the Ecosystem Game + Redrock instead of Ecosystem + Plant Defense.

It is quite difficult to complete the 10 cases (Part 4) at the end as most candidates spend too much time on the first 3 parts. Having said that, I helped candidates that did not complete the 10 cases and passed anyway.

For those who still have to prepare, I have recently updated the Imbellus Solve Combo to include 8 new videos with tips on every part of the Redrock – including the new one about the 10 cases. You can find it at the link below:

Hi Shivam,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• First of all, I feel you are mixing things up. The McKinsey Solve is McKinsey's pre-interview assessment in the form of games, typically involving establishing an ecosystem and defending a plant from attackers for three rounds.
• However, please feel free to provide more details so I can help you better.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi Shivam,

I completely agree with HAgen.

You seem to be mixing up words.

The Imbellus Solve Assessment is 2 games (generally).

THEN you generally have 2 rounds of interviews and each round has 2 interviewers that go through a case + fit.

Now, you might be right. If so, we need more information! Can you tell us exactly what they said?

Hi! I also had this experience. It was 100% for the Solve/Imbellus portion of the process. The first item was the ecosystem test and the second was the redtree study that involved 1 “study” followed by 10 “cases” or quick questions. I found it very difficult to complete on time!

I had the redrock study as well, I think the UI is really difficult to use, the questions themselves aren't difficult, but just the fact that we had to use the on-screen calculator which is such a bad design!
