Isabella G.USA · 2026
★★★★★
“I was completely lost before finding PSG Solver. After one week of structured practice, I finally understood the logic behind the tasks. Worth every dollar.”
Gabi V.Stanford University · 2025
★★★★☆
“I practiced with all 3 Redrock and the 10 Sea Wolf tests — the actual game felt familiar and manageable. This made a huge difference in my confidence.”
Vikram J.India · 2026
★★★★★
“The Redrock practice tests were incredibly accurate. The explanations after each question actually taught me how to think about the data, not just get the right answer. Really worth it.”
James T.University College London · 2025
★★★★★
“Sea Wolf was the one I was most anxious about. Having 10 full practice runs meant I walked in feeling like I’d already done it before. My score reflected that.”
Priya S.University of Warwick · 2026
★★★★★
“I bought the bundle two weeks before my assessment and used it every day. The Redrock tests especially helped me speed up my reading under pressure. Got the offer.”
Tom W.Durham University · 2026
★★★★★
“The Ecosystem Solver was a lifesaver. I’d been guessing randomly in practice, but once I understood the logic through the tool it all clicked. Passed first time.”
Daniel K.University of Manchester · 2023
★★★★★
“Sea Wolf looks intimidating at first glance but after a few practice rounds the pattern becomes clear. This site was the only resource that actually prepared me for it properly.”
Charlotte B.Sciences Po · 2026
★★★★★
“The SFL practice tests felt almost identical to the real thing. Knowing what decisions I’d be judged on made the whole experience far less stressful. Highly recommend.”
Aisha M.King’s College London · 2025
★★★★★
“I found PSG Solver about a week before my test. The structured approach to each scenario made things that felt impossible feel manageable. Ended up getting through to the next round.”
Sofía R.IE Business School · 2026
★★★★★
“What I liked most was that the explanations didn’t just tell you the answer — they walked you through the reasoning. That’s what actually sticks when you’re under exam conditions.”
Lucas M.HEC Paris · 2025
★★★★★
“Honestly I was sceptical at first, but the quality of the content is genuinely impressive. The Sea Wolf simulations are spot on. I felt prepared in a way I didn’t expect to.”
Emily H.Dartmouth College · 2026
★★★★★

What is the PSG?

The McKinsey Problem Solving Game, explained.

The McKinsey Problem Solving Game (PSG), part of the broader Solve assessment, is a simulation-based test designed to evaluate critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills. McKinsey & Company uses it during recruitment to identify candidates with the analytical mindset to succeed in consulting.

The 2026 version focuses on three live scenarios: Redrock Study Task, Sea Wolf, and the new Sustainable Futures Lab. Candidates receive either a 65-minute or 85-minute version depending on their region and role.

2026 PSG Scenarios

Every scenario, fully covered.

We provide practice material and solutions for every live module in the 2026 McKinsey Solve assessment.

Module 1 · 35 min

Redrock Study Task

The second scenario in the 2026 assessment. You read a structured report and answer math-style questions based on its data. Similar in spirit to the legacy McKinsey PST — incorrect answers may incur deductions, so accuracy matters.

More info →

Module 2 · 30 min

Sea Wolf (Ocean Cleanup)

Introduced in spring 2024. You design microbial treatments for three ocean sites, matching each site’s ideal characteristics with a combination of three microbes. Played three times with different parameters — strategic alignment is everything.

More info →

New · March 2026

Sustainable Futures Lab

The newest module, added to the 85-minute Solve assessment. A behavioural assessment where you join an environmental research team and make 13 sequential decisions under time pressure — testing prioritisation, judgement, and teamwork.

Also covered
Ecosystem Scenario

Ecosystem Builder

Build and maintain a sustainable ecosystem by balancing environmental conditions and predator-prey relationships. Tests your ability to process large data volumes, think systemically, and decide under ambiguity. Full practice tests and the Ecosystem Solver are available — included in our Ultimate Bundle and as standalone products.

More info →

Older scenarios

Pre-February 2023 PSG variants — included for reference.

Plant Defense

Defend a plant from pests and diseases by selecting treatments and minimising impact on the surrounding ecosystem. Tests critical thinking, complex analysis, and decision-making under pressure.

Disease Diagnosis

Identify and diagnose an unknown disease affecting an animal population using a vast amount of data, then propose a treatment plan grounded in comprehensive analysis.

Disaster Identification

Identify the type of natural disaster causing animal deaths, then select a suitable relocation site for the surviving population — based on the same data-rich workflow as Ecosystem Building.
