Start with Prepmatter’s free YouTube tutorials to understand how McKinsey Solve works and see full walkthroughs of both Redrock Study and Sea Wolf. Once you’re familiar with the gameplay, move to Prepmatter’s McKinsey Solve simulation to practice under real test conditions and build confidence before taking the official assessment.

McKinsey evaluates how you interpret complex information, make decisions under uncertainty, and balance trade-offs. Across the different games, you’re tested on structured thinking, analytical judgment, and how you prioritize between competing options.

In Redrock Study, you analyze data and identify patterns. In Sea Wolf, you make decisions with limited information. In Sustainable Futures Lab, you assess trade-offs and stakeholder impact. Together, these test how you think, not just what you know.

The McKinsey Solve game is completely different from a traditional case interview. It’s a digital assessment where you work through data-rich scenarios independently, without an interviewer. Solve measures how you interpret information, make trade-offs, and prioritize decisions in real time. It’s usually the first step before being invited to live interviews.
