McKinsey interviews: I’ve been prompted to take a “case assessment” prior to even beginning my official case interviews. Does anyone have insights on this? How, if at all, is it different than a typical case interview? All I was told is that it is strictly a case and no PEI portion.

This is standard. It’s a 30 minute case that is generally easier than interview cases, but still requires the skill set. Assuming this is for associate position?

The preliminary case assessment before going into the two rounds is standard for everyone
