Practice mock interviews with ex-McKinsey employees

We recommend following these five steps to prepare for your McKinsey interview:

1. Become really confident at math
2. Develop a consistent method to crack cases
3. Practice cases out loud
4. Learn from every mistake you make
5. Practice mock interviews

You can read more about this approach in our free McKinsey interview guide. If you’re looking to save time and access all the preparation resources you need in a single place, we also recommend signing up to our McKinsey case interview training programme.

McKinsey interviews are hard if you don’t know what type of question to expect (i.e. case interviews and PEI questions). But if you practice these questions types beforehand then you can crack the McKinsey interview. We recommend practicing by yourself with our course first, and then practicing mock interviews with McKinsey coaches.

There are 4 steps in the McKinsey interview process.

• Step 1: Resume screen
• Step 1: Resume and cover letter screening
• Step 2: McKinsey Problem Solving Game
• Step 3: First round of interviews
• Step 4: Second round of interviews

If you want more details about each step we recommend reading the process section of McKinsey guide.

Practicing McKinsey mock interviews is super easy on our platform. You simply buy as many mock interview sessions as you’d like, then browse our interview coaches and schedule sessions with them.

Each session lasts 1h. At the time of the session, you’ll login to a Zoom call to meet your interview coach. They’ll confirm the objectives of the session with you, give you a mock interview (45mins), followed by feedback (15mins). You’ll be in touch with your coach over email before and after the session so you can ask any questions you have.

Yes, once you’ve purchased your mock interview sessions you can schedule them with any coach on our team.

If you’re looking to practice mock interviews with other candidates, we recommend checking our list of best mock interview websites which includes free peer-to-peer options. However, while doing mock interviews with peers can be useful to get started, we recommend practicing with actual ex-interviewers, if you can afford the extra investment. They’ll be able to provide you with highly accurate and actionable feedback. This is what our coaches specialize in.

Yes, unused mock interview sessions can be refunded within 30 days of getting purchased. After 30 days the sessions cannot be refunded anymore, but you can still use them at any point in the future.

If you do get a refund it will be corrected for the discount you initially got. As an example, imagine you have purchased 10 sessions, and paid 10 x $129 = $1,290. If you end up only using 5 sessions, we will refund you the difference between what you have paid ($1,290), and what you would have paid had you purchased 5 sessions (5 x $139 = $695). So in this specific example we would refund: $1,290 - $695 = $595.

You can request a refund for your unused sessions directly from the order tab in your account.

There is no time limit to use the mock interview sessions. You can purchase them now and use them whenever you like.

Your mock interview session is tailored to you. Your coach will work with you in advance of the session to decide what you will cover during the hour. Most of the candidates who work with us use this time to do a full mock interview but you could use it instead as an hour of coaching and advice.

When booking a coach you’ll be given the opportunity to specify what companies you’re interviewing with (e.g. Google, Facebook, etc.) and what question types you would like to focus on. If you don’t know the answer to these questions yet that’s completely fine – your coach will be here to guide you.

Mock interview sessions can be cancelled and rescheduled for free by giving us more than 24h notice. In other words, if you decide you don’t need the session anymore and tell us more than 24h in advance it will be eligible for a refund as an "unused" session. Or if you decided that you want to do the session at another time and tell us more than 24h in advance we will reschedule it for free.

If you fail to attend a mock interview session, or are more than 15mins late, the session will be considered a "no show" and it will count as having been used.

Clients do three to four sessions with us on average which we believe demonstrates they find value in it. If you aren’t sure this is for you, we recommend doing a trial session. If you feel the session didn’t help we’ll give you 100% of your money back, no questions asked.

There’s no cookie-cutter answer to this question, unfortunately. It depends on how comfortable you are interviewing today and how competitive the position you’re applying for is. We recommend doing a trial session and asking your coach for a recommendation on how many hours to do at the end. Once they’ve worked with you for an hour they’ll be able to advise.

Coaches’ bios might look intimidating because some of them have worked at big companies and have senior titles. But they’re all genuinely interested in helping you out. They’re here for you, will show empathy, and do their best to help you achieve your goals.

One hour might not seem like a lot. But coaches are used to making the most of the time. They’ll come ready to the session so you can cover the topics that are important to you and walk away with concrete next steps.
