Hello Guys,

I got an invite by Mckinsey and company for PST and the sample test for practice is hell too difficult. Can anyone in the house tell me how to go about this and how to pass the PST as this is an opportunity I had been looking for. I am tired of studying the practice questions cos they are difficult and discouraging

thanks all

Just study hard

Pls when did you apply for this Mckinsey role and is it a graduate trainee role?

That's why you have us here.... You can link up with people in your location to book sessions and get help from them (you will buy beer and chicken barbecue though)

Or you can screen grab the questions and pots here to get online help from people. I'm sure many will be able to tell you easier ways to approach the questions. You might be shocked as to how easy the questions are.

how did you come about the conclusion? ?

just helping the Op, never attempted it

@jeffrypet,

Data interpretation and deep understanding of verbal comprehension - no assumptions- seem to lie at the heart of the questions I was able to obtain from the internet.

Also,numerical computation . Choose relevant practice topics.

Practise a lot of the data interpretation here after mastering the topic, of course

They also appear to be used in combination.

See attachment of what I got. You may attach the practice questions for more help if they are not exactly alike

Finally, see what benefit you could get from others in your shoes.


I sincerely wish you success.

jeffry pls, how long ago did you submit ur transcripts?

submitted mine a while back (close to 2mths) not heard from them, I just might write them.

Eem OK did you attend the workshop on how to answer the PST, well first rule go thru the questions first and the tables / exhibits. Before reading d passage assimilate and underline necessary information. Do not assume.
Eliminate the impossible whatever is left however improbable must be the answer.
Don't get discouraged by the practice tests but you need serious practice because the actual test is worse.
All the best you would needit
Davide470 no vex am still on the matter

I also got invited for the assessment
But I've tried like 3 laptops now, not still compatible..
From research I've done the questions are a bit difficult o
