I had to divide 12937 by 27 and was not allowed to simplify

Lmao I’d do that in 1000s/100s/10s but that is such a shit problem

I found that too. McK is heavier on math logic & mental math - and I found that it’s because of their interviewer led style.

When I was prepping for candidate led cases, a lot of times math was obvious profits or b/e

Definitely McK for me! Like there’s a whole section in the interviewer led case just for math. At BCG/Bain felt like it was just a means to an end to get your answer

All

McKinsey probably, but if you suck at Estimations then it is Bain. Imo BCG is the easiest

For my McK first round I feel like I didn’t do any mental math and just wrote everything down. Just worried about if I should expect something different for final round.

I didn’t do any mental math. They encouraged me to take my time and write everything out. I think it shows that you’re methodical and don’t rush getting to the answer
