The stakes

Don’t make assessment day
your first practice run.

You have worked hard on your application. Now you need to solve unfamiliar tasks against the clock. Learn how the games work before assessment day. Practise with a timer, spot your mistakes and give yourself time to improve.

A guide can explain the rules. A timed run shows whether you can use them. Find out now, while you still have time to improve.

Risk-free first step

Try all three games free. Then decide.

Create a free account and try one complete, timed scenario from each game. Replay them as often as you like. No credit card, nothing to cancel. Try the simulations before you decide to pay.

Want more practice? One payment gives you 12 months of full access to all scenarios and detailed reports.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is McKinsey Solve?

An online assessment used before interviews. This package covers Redrock Study, Sea Wolf and Sustainable Future Lab. Check your invitation for the games, time limits and instructions that apply to you.

What do I get for free?

One complete, timed scenario from each game, replayable as often as you like. No credit card, nothing to cancel. More scenarios, detailed reports and PDF downloads come with full access. The 30-minute Lab format is included with full access.

Does one payment cover all three games?

Yes. One payment gives you 12 months of access to all three games, unlimited practice and detailed reports. It also unlocks reports for your first completed free runs if they were saved in the last 30 days. Online reports remain available for 60 days; download the PDFs to keep them.

How does the 100% refund actually work?

You must meet all four conditions: be rejected after McKinsey Solve with a result in the 7th decile or below (or 510 or below); provide the official result with your name and date; finish 5 full runs of each game before your assessment day; and request your refund within 60 days. Free runs in the same account count. Rejections at other stages, withdrawals and missed assessments are excluded.

What result do you need to pass?

McKinsey decides who moves to interviews based on the assessment and the rest of the application. The 7th-decile / 510 limits are conditions for our refund guarantee, not a universal McKinsey pass mark.

How long should I prepare?

Start when you receive your invitation. Complete a full run, review your mistakes and focus on one improvement at a time. To qualify for the refund, complete at least 5 full runs of each game before your assessment day.

How many times can I practise?

As often as you want during your 12-month access, with no daily limit. Sea Wolf creates a fresh scenario on every run.

Is this an official McKinsey product?

No. It is an independent practice tool based on publicly available candidate accounts, not affiliated with or endorsed by McKinsey.

Does access renew automatically?

No. You pay once for 12 months. No recurring charges, no subscription to cancel.

Can I get personal coaching too?

Yes. Book a separate coaching session with Franco to review your reports and plan what to practise next.
