With 2 weeks I'd separate Solve prep from case prep instead of mixing both every session.

My McKinsey interviews are within 2 weeks. How should I prepare for Solve and the case interviews?
- McKinsey Solve
My Mckinsey interviews within 2 weeks. The Solve assessment and the preparation of the case interviews.

I would make the interview prep the bigger block once you are comfortable with the Solve format.

Don't wait until Solve is over to start casing if the interviews are that close.
Similar Questions
Can taking too many notes during McKinsey Solve slow me down?
- McKinsey Solve
I like writing things down during assessments, but I am worried I will spend too much time copying information in Solve. How much note-taking is actually useful?

Mayank G.CoachUse notes only when they reduce cognitive load or prevent you from repeatedly searching for the same information.
What should I do if the current McKinsey Solve invitation does not match older prep guides?
- McKinsey Solve
My invitation seems to describe a format that is different from some guides I found online. Should I ignore the older material completely, or are there still useful skills and strategies that transfer across Solve versions?

Mayank G.CoachUse the current invitation and official instructions as the source of truth. McKinsey Solve has changed over time, so an older guide can describe tasks or interfaces that are no longer current.
If my internet is stable, should I still avoid Wi-Fi for McKinsey Solve?
- McKinsey Solve
My Wi-Fi is normally reliable, but I keep seeing advice to use Ethernet for online assessments. I can set up a wired connection, but it is inconvenient. Is that actually worth doing for Solve if I rarely have connection issues?

Mayank G.CoachUse the most reliable connection you can reasonably set up, especially for a timed assessment.
