Question 1

Which consulting firms use online assessments?

Accepted Answer

All three MBB firms screen digitally in most offices: McKinsey with the Solve game modules (Red Rock, Sea Wolf, and sometimes the Sustainable Futures Lab), Bain with SOVA or TestGorilla, and BCG with the Casey online case and the CCA. Your invitation names the exact format you will face.

Question 2

Are these simulators free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every simulation on this page is playable without an account and explains its reasoning as you go. Signing up saves your exact result and continues into practice matched to what you missed.

Question 3

Are these the real assessments?

Accepted Answer

No. They are original practice simulations built from publicly available information about each format. They practice the reported mechanics honestly; formats change between offices and recruiting cycles, so treat your invitation as the authority.
