(Hint: Bookmark This Page – It’s Long) The McKinsey Problem Solving Test (also known as the McKinsey PST) is a math computation, data interpretation and logical thinking test used by McKinsey to determine which candidates are granted a first round case interview.

McKinsey Problem Solving Test - PST

In general, candidates whose resumes McKinsey deems acceptable are invited to take the test. Based on feedback from hundreds of test takers, you must pass the test in order to get the interview. There are few to no exceptions to this rule.

(The crowd got so big that we ended up taking over most of the lobby and they kicked us out! My apologies to anyone who came at the end of our scheduled time, as we had by then moved to a conference room. I was hoping 5 people would show up, but when close to 30 did, the hotel kicked us out. During this informal “shop talk” a 1Y from McK asked me about how one can be more comfortable meeting strangers (e.g., new clients). At the time, I gave what ended up being a partial answer. Instead, I thought I’d provide the full answer here as I actually get asked this question a lot. Case Interview Questions.
