See what a weak, an OK, and an excellent McKinsey answer look like
Reading about a good answer only gets you so far. Seeing a weak, an OK, and an excellent answer to the same question side by side makes the difference concrete. This course has 40 video lessons built around simulated McKinsey case and PEI interviews. Each answer is played at a different performance level and followed by a debrief of what separated them.
What’s inside
- The McKinsey interview: an introduction to the interview and to McKinsey’s interviewer-led business case
- Seven case questions in the style of McKinsey’s interviewer-led case, covering structuring, exhibits, math, and the final summary. Each is answered at a weak, an OK, and an excellent level, with a debrief.
- The Personal Experience Interview: how to draft a PEI story, then Drive, Leadership, and Connection, each with a weak answer and two excellent ones, plus a lesson on Growth
- Wrap-up: a program summary with additional advice
A note on PEI names. McKinsey renamed its PEI dimensions in summer 2025. Inclusive Leadership became Leadership, Personal Impact became Connection, Courageous Change became Growth, and Entrepreneurial Drive became Drive. If a video uses an older name, the content still applies, because what each dimension tests didn’t change.
How to work through it
- Watch the three free introduction lessons.
- For each case question, pause after the prompt and answer it yourself, out loud, before you watch the three versions.
- Watch the weak answer and note what’s wrong before the debrief tells you. Then compare your own answer with the excellent one.
- For the PEI, draft your own story for each dimension after its lessons. Then test it against the follow-up questions in the videos.
