We get this question often! Here's why:

As a small company, we sell directly to our customers and not via 3rd party platforms—no middlemen, no extra markups. This allows us to offer a premium product at this price, passing the savings directly to you. Additionally, a core objective of StrategyCase.com is to make consulting more accessible for global talent, helping candidates to pass obscure and intransparent assessments.

You can download the PDF guidebook, the Excel Solver, the McKinsey Interview Primer, and the sample data set for the Ecosystem and they are yours to keep. The video course and online practice games come with 6 months access and a free update guarantee during that period.

If you want more detailed information about the course, please reach out to info@strategycase.com and we will take care of the matter promptly.

Yes. We update the materials whenever McKinsey changes the assessment, which is the whole reason we track the games continuously instead of publishing once and leaving them to go stale. Our April 2026 update added coverage of the new Sustainable Future Lab game soon after candidates began reporting it, on top of our existing game simulations. Since November 2019 we have collected debriefs from more than 600 real test-takers, so when the format shifts, we catch it early and update fast. You always get the current version when you buy, and any updates we release afterward are included at no extra cost.

Free videos can explain what the McKinsey Solve assessment looks like from the outside. What they cannot give you is realistic practice. The core of this package is a set of playable simulations built to mirror the real games closely, and past users consistently tell us the questions felt almost identical on the day. Watching someone describe the experience is not the same as sitting through it yourself before it counts.

Two other differences matter. The materials come from Dr. Florian Smeritschnig, a former McKinsey Senior Consultant who evaluated candidates at the firm, rather than from creators reverse-engineering the test from forum threads. And because McKinsey keeps changing the games, most free content is quietly out of date, while these materials are actively maintained. You get one attempt at this assessment, so a few focused hours on the real game mechanics, with insider guidance on what is actually being measured, is cheap insurance against walking in cold. If you want to judge the quality for yourself, play the free demo before you decide.

Everything is delivered online, instantly. The moment your payment goes through, you get full access to the entire suite: the playable simulations, the video course, the strategy guide, the Excel solver, and the free interview primer. The simulations run directly in your browser, so there is nothing to download or install, and you can use them on your laptop, tablet, or phone. You can replay each game as many times as you need in the run-up to test day.

If you do not see the access email within a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder.

You are covered by a 5-day money-back guarantee. Work through the simulations and the guide, and if you do not feel better prepared for the McKinsey Solve assessment, email us within 5 days of your purchase for a full refund. There are no forms to complete and no questions to answer. We can offer this because we have seen the materials work for thousands of candidates since 2019, and we would rather you prepare with full confidence than hold back over the risk.
