thanx prepmatter...indeed you explained and demonstrated theses games...meticolously

Excellent Video. Thank you so much for this!

Hello. From your experience, will the case interview sessions be any different say if one is applying for an expert consultant role in a particular industry + the candidate has no consulting experience at all prior to this. Also, any tips/guidelines for such candidates with no prior consulting background but with years of experience in particular industry/sector. Thank you

There is an error in 16:49 about supply and demand If the demand for raw materiales declines while the supply remains constant, the price of the good or service is likely to decrease. Here’s a breakdown of the economic reasoning: 1. Decrease in Demand: When fewer people want to buy the good or service at the existing price, the demand curve shifts to the left. 2. Constant Supply: Since the supply remains unchanged, suppliers will still be offering the same quantity of the good or service. 3. Excess Supply: With reduced demand, there will be a surplus of the good or service at the original price. 4. Price Adjustment: To clear this surplus, suppliers will typically lower their prices to attract more buyers, leading to a decrease in the market price. Therefore, when demand declines and supply is constant, the price generally falls.

Hi i am strugling with mckinsey solve game PSG

Its too detailed and complicated😓

I just send my Job Interest to McKinsey and now I want to take it back. Wtf is this😂😂😂😂

It would be so much better if we could see what Deniz is writing on his paper. Overall this is a very good case study.

thanks!!

Can you share some resume template for applying to a entey level job at McKinsey

Hey, just wanted to know if there are any videos for all the other games that might be a part of the Solve Game?

Hi! Can you just type instead of using the calculator or it won't allow you? I rather use the calculator on my phone

👀

Why does the export tariff not matter ? It can significantly affect demand and price

Thanks for the informative video.

When looking at Exhibit 2, could it not be a possibility that the client's increase in price is what was driving the decrease in sales? I know eventually we are told that the decrease in sales is more due to external factors, but why did the candidate not consider that possibility? That it was poor pricing strategy which led to decreased sales? (ie. they priced it too high)

What does round up to 2 digits mean? Significant figures or decimal points?

Great video, really helped prepare me for my test. Thanks for pulling this video together!

for the Q6, when calculating, I did assume that there are 2 customers per room so the result would be 855/2 lol ...

Can the game be played with a phone?

Awesome job explaining 🤝 Thank you 🤗 I hope I can use the knowledge gained to Ace my test tomorrow PS: I am definitely sending you a connection request😄

to validate the estimations discussed in the first part, a public health based approach would be to look up the crude birth rate (cbr) and scale it to the population of london. with a cbr of 10 across the UK for 2022, assuming that the cbr of london is identical to that of the UK, this would yield a total of 80k successful pregnancies per annum. very close!!

Thanks for posting! How would you compare the difficulty level of the real assessment with the level of those in your course?

great video, look forward to see more

We're proud to announce that Prepmatter's interactive Pymetrics Test Simulation is now live. Access all 16 games here: prepmatter.com/online/pymetrics

Hi! Great Video! Just had a question in the ecosystem game when we start building the food chain, here once you add the first layer of animals and form a sustainable food chain up till that layer and then proceed to add the turtle layer on top and then you check independently just that when the turtle eats does its food source die or not. But shouldn't we check for the entire food chain starting from those species with the highest calories provided and then proceed sequentially to check the sustainability of the food chain? Edit : I know that it works out perfectly in this example, but will it always work out ?

Thanks for the insightful video. I am still a bit confused with how to interpret the price sensitivity graph, can you please explain further?

Hi Deniz! Appreciate all the great content, it has been very helpful. I'm thinking about enrolling into the get the offer course. Any chance I could get a promo code? 😇

If there are 3 sets of temperatures and elevations, is it possible to create a sustainable ecosystem in each of these regions, because I believe that you selected the region randomly.

Great video ! My only struggle was - how did you do know the number on the top of the costs graph represent revenue, it is not mentioned in the legend anywhere.

Great content - thanks! It might be just me, but you are speaking (or reading from a script) a bit too fast. Just a recommendation: slowing down a bit on the explanations and change of topics a bit would help us catch all the great points you're sharing. Thanks for your awesome work!

so helpful! thankyou

Surely there are more than 3 possible Redrock tests?

First, McKinsey gives all the info in the prompt, their prompts are giant … the only representative cases of the real interview are the cases on their website… he asked a lot of “clarifying” questions in the beginning that are not for clarification… clarifying questions should be brief to clarify a term, capture a missed number etc… not to uncover hidden information or start solving the case in the clarifying questions! The interviewer won’t let you go that far with the clarification questions! Second, this is definitely a vague structure and not tailored to the case… you cannot call hospital patients , customers! They are patients… competition is comparable hospitals and labs… I would Substitute risks with benefits to the patients and to the hospital and should add cost comparisons for in house vs out of house (using third party!) under financials …

Question, at first you said since Blue Jellyfish eats Red Moss and Sea lettuce, we have to assume it eats equally from both, so 1500 each. Why when you are analyzing what Sea urchin will eat, which eats Sea Fan and Sea lettuce, you just take all the calories it needs from one source (Sea Fan) and not considering it taking the 775 calories left from the Sea Lettuce also? Why it is eating the 3000 straight from the Sea Fan? Thanks @prepmatter

Percentage point difference in differences is 10. Kindly check and confirm. 23:02 Video timing

Can I not move yellow to the Middle (Step 1), move green to the far right (Step 2), move pink to the middle (Step 3), move green back to the far left (Step 4), move blue to the middle (Step 5), move green back to the far right (Step 6), move red to the middle (Step 7) and then move green to the middle (Step 8) ?

Do we need to get all correct to get to the next stage?

why you divided the the differnece between the lakes by 23 and not by 19

Just complete my PSG and wanna say thank you for having this walkthrough video, I went through my ecosystem game with no stress and completed within 15 minute. It just that I overspent too much time on using the on screen calculator and understanding the journals for Redrock part, despite the question and the long paragaph is easy. Will update here again if I pass the game and able to proceed to next round. Bless me ✨✨

Hi, I have had test yesterday and got invitation to PEI. I made ecosystem task in 18 minutes. I had to change some initially chosen participants, which made me feel nervous. But I managed to change them fastly. Thank you so much for your tutorial.

Thank you for the content! By following your tips, I was able to finish ecosystem task with enough time to triple check calculations. For Redrock, I definitely needed to do more practice questions. Hopefully in less then two weeks I will get a response from the firm.

Great video! Quick question... On a case like this, would it not have been beneficial asking a clarifying question regarding whether or not we are the only firm in the industry experiencing declining profits? I feel like that would have saved some time that would be better spent during the case. Then for example if the answer was "no, all other cement firms within the area are experiencing declining profits", how would the root cause analysis bucket change? Would you still communicate the quantitative causes with more of an emphasis on the qualitative causes? Thanks so much!

why would sea urchin consume sea fan entirely, when it derives some of its caloric needs from sea lettuce? you should've clarified this part in the video

why did u choose 'depth range' as opposed to the other major monitors given?

10:08 Thanks alot!!! I don't understand why Spade Fish was removed. Isn't it true that the ecosystem would survive even if Sea Urchin, instead of Spade Fish, was removed? If that's the case, the remaining calories for the Sea Fan would be 3,500 - 2,400 = 1,100, right?😮

Hi, I just took the PSG and it was terrifying. I also had the third task about categorizing microbes according to the attributes. It was mentioned nowhere on the web, and had a hard time getting through it. It might have been a new part of the game they're testing. My ecosystem creation game was somehow different(It had 4 levels and spent a lot of time working it out) too. I'm wondering if anyone had the same experience with me. Seriously, these guys are evolving so fast... anyway, your video was great! I did great on the first two tasks except the third one i screwed up thx to you. I appreciate it.

In the Redrock Study, Question 4 of the Analysis, why is the percentage difference calculated the way you did? I would think it is more ((summit-base)/summit)*100%

the profit calculation assumes that profit factor remain the same over 5 years period.. what will be a good multiplier factor? Profit margin expected to increase or decrease YoY?
