It's really helpful to use SolveGamesGuide, as it replicates the exact examination environment: layouts, question styles, and schemes.
The Solve Games guide is extremely helpful and does a great job of replicating the actual examination experience, both in terms of the interface and the overall feel of the assessment. The difficulty level is also very much at par with the actual assessment. The new SFL version is also accurately represented, which was particularly helpful in my case.
Every plan includes 2 weeks of access from the date of purchase, except McKinsey + Bain Ultimate, which runs for 2 months.

Best Solve practice I've used. Spent about a week on it and didn't feel lost on the day.
Did three sessions. That was enough for me.
Mostly did Redrock. Much better prep than the YouTube explainers I'd been relying on.
I strongly recommend this for anyone serious about passing. Format is close to what I got on the day.
The free simulations give you access to one Sea Wolf simulation session, one Redrock case study, and one Sustainable Futures Lab scenario. It's enough to experience the full quality of our simulators before purchasing. Start the free simulations.
Most packages include 2 weeks of access from the date of purchase. McKinsey + Bain Ultimate runs for 2 months.
Yes. If you start with McKinsey Express, McKinsey Ultimate, or Bain Standalone, you can move up to McKinsey + Bain Ultimate later. You only pay the difference between what you already paid and the new package, so you never pay twice. Any days left on your current plan are added on top of the new access period.
Yes. McKinsey Ultimate holders are offered McKinsey + Bain Ultimate at the price difference only. Express holders can upgrade the same way. Checkout credits what you have already paid automatically. If your current plan is still active, remaining days are added on top of the new access period; if it has already expired, the new access period starts from the day you upgrade.
If your current plan is still active, your remaining days are kept and the new package's access period is added on top, so upgrading never shortens your access. If you upgrade after your package has expired, the new access period starts from the day you upgrade.
Our simulators replicate the exact McKinsey Solve Game interface, scoring logic, and time pressure. Unlike generic practice materials, we provide accurate scoring feedback, analytics tracking, and the full ecosystem flow that matches the real assessment.
No special software needed. Our simulators run directly in your web browser on any device (desktop, laptop, or tablet). We recommend using Chrome or Safari for the best experience.
The Redrock Cases were modeled directly from the McKinsey Solve assessments. Many other test prep providers use AI to create arbitrary tests, which is why some of them offer dozens of generic cases. We focus on quality over quantity, training you on what will actually appear on the Solve assessment so you have the best chance of passing.
The Solver is a keyboard-enabled tool that lets you practice the scoring logic of the Sea Wolf game instantly. It helps you understand the complex chain dependencies and optimize your decisions without time pressure, making you faster and more accurate during the real simulation.
We accept all major credit/debit cards through Stripe, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. All payments are processed securely.
You have 14 days from purchase to cancel and receive a full refund, provided you have not accessed any paid content (simulators, case studies, or solver). If you encounter significant technical difficulties or anything that prevents you from using the platform as expected, please contact us and we will do our best to investigate and make it right.
Ultimate and McKinsey + Bain Ultimate customers may also be eligible for our performance refund guarantee if they are rejected by McKinsey and score below the 8th decile: 100% of the purchase on Ultimate, 75% on McKinsey + Bain Ultimate. Either tier can also claim a 50% refund if none of our 5 Redrock formats appeared in their assessment (the Redrock Format Guarantee).
