Prepare with the complete McKinsey Sea Wolf guide
The four phases, how scoring works, strategy, and preparation: everything you need before test day.
Read the McKinsey Sea Wolf guideSee the Sea Wolf Simulator in action
A two-minute walkthrough: watch how decisions, constraints and the clock interact across a full run.
Built to match the real Sea Wolf assessment
The same interface, phases and time limit as the real game, so you practise the assessment itself rather than a lookalike.
Learn untimed, then test under real pressure
Practice mode removes the clock so you can learn the mechanics. Assessment mode puts it back and mirrors test-day pressure.
See the optimal answer for the hardest phases
The built-in solver for Phase 3 and Phase 4 shows the optimal choices, so you learn the constraint logic instead of guessing.
Understand exactly where you lost points
Feedback after every run shows which constraints you broke and what each one cost. Every violated constraint takes 20% off that site’s score.
Track your improvement across attempts
Analytics show your performance trend over multiple runs, so you can see when you are ready.

Practise the same phases, sites and time limit as the real assessment, so you spend the test making decisions, not learning the game.
