What’s the bar of passing the first round at McKinsey like? if I didn’t do well in the same part of a cases for both interviews (ie reading graphs for high level insights and implications) would that be even worse than having different performance across other areas (ie not doing well in A on case 1 but not doing well in B on case 2)? I thought the quant was fine but i dont think i did well on graph reading for either cases. Pei was also fine and so was the rest of the case

Generally you need to do relatively well (at or above the bar) on all aspects of both cases and do great on some part of it. If you show you can do great on an aspect in one case it’s much easier to overlook a less than stellar performance on the same aspect in another case.
