Sustainable Futures Lab Simulator
Prepare for McKinsey Solve SFL under real time pressure. Interconnected scenarios test judgement and trade-offs — not calculations — with a mission timer that matches the live assessment.
Start with a drag-and-drop ranking, then work through branching multiple-choice decisions. Feedback is organised around three practice dimensions: prioritisation, working with ambiguity, and teamwork and stakeholder management.
See the interface
Mission briefing sets constraints; the ring tracks elapsed time against the 20-minute limit — same rhythm as the live module when your invitation includes SFL (often with an 85-minute total assessment).
How the SFL simulator supports your prep
Four beats that mirror what candidates report from the live module: time discipline, explicit prioritisation, branching judgement calls, and structured reflection.

One sitting, real pressure
Read the briefing, then move through all 13 questions within the mission clock — so pacing feels familiar on test day.

Drag-and-drop prioritisation
The first question is typically a ranking exercise — order objectives or actions before the scenario branches based on your priorities.

Interconnected decisions
Later prompts reveal information step by step. Choose responses that balance impact, feasibility, and stakeholders — there is rarely one obviously perfect option.

Three practice dimensions
After your run, review explanations keyed to prioritisation, working with ambiguity, and teamwork and stakeholder management — a Solve Games Guide framing to support preparation, not an official McKinsey score report.
Use full-length practice to build a consistent decision style across the flow, not just isolated “right” answers.
