About this episode

We discuss more fundamental strategies for cracking  McKinsey's PST Test. There is a key recipe in preparation that most miss out on. You need to develop the necessary mental tools first, before doing many on the tests. Quantity does not help. You need to first deeply understand what the logic behind the questions is and what mental tools you need to solve them.
