McKinsey Solve Score Estimator
Enter your practice results from any of the three Solve mini-games to get a calibrated 0–100 score band and a next-step plan. Inputs mirror the actual results screens.
Sea Wolf Game
3 sites · for each, mark attributes in range, whether the desired trait is present, and how many undesired microbes you placed.
Each site starts at 100 points (300 across the three sites) and mirrors the in-app Sea Wolf Game result screen: −20 per attribute average outside the target range, −20 if the desired trait is missing, −20 per undesired microbe (up to three). Sites are averaged for your Sea Wolf efficiency.
Total minutes across all 3 sites (30-minute clock).
3+ attempts gives full confidence; one-offs are partially discounted.
Red Rock Study (Case)
Four scored phases. Enter the % you saw on each — leave blank if you skipped a stage.
% correct on data analysis (~40% of total).
% correct on report blanks/dropdowns (~25%).
% correct on chart type + values (~15%).
% correct on case questions (~20%).
Total minutes across all stages.
3+ attempts gives full confidence; one-offs are partially discounted.
Sustainable Futures Lab

Overall % from your results screen.
Total minutes in the lab.

Estimates are directional, not predictive. McKinsey does not publish actual Solve scores — this tool calibrates against SolvePrep practice outcomes. Use it to prioritize prep, not to forecast a pass. Updated 2026.

How to read this
McKinsey publishes no official scores or thresholds. This estimate is directional, based on SolvePrep practice data and stated assumptions — treat it as a study-priority signal, not a prediction.
