I purchased their cases prior to taking the PST but the level is really low. I wouldn't recommend these tests.

I did use a website called Consulting Guru. They have a free case (a real tough one) and they have 5 full PSTs. They are definitely more expensive but after successfully passing the PSTs few says ago. I can say it was worth it.

You can contact me on my email if you have any question on my PST experience.

I just googled around and found there are actually several very good Practice PSTs that are available online. They are claimed to created by a few ex-McKinsey consultants:

Just heard back from McK regarding my PST result and i can say i am lucky to pass the test!
I applied for BA position in Indonesia office and did not have proper time to prepare.
The tips given by VC are very helpful and make sure you have enough sleep before the test.

The test itself, technically the same level with the sample they gave but with more reading part in it.

The quant part is tricky if not easy so my suggestion do not skip it, it was easier for me rather than "look at the case and find the valid answer"!

Anyway good luck to all of you!

Just completed the PST – will be hearing back on results tomorrow. It was a mad rush but that is no secret. The main thing to note is you don't need to understand the details of the case to answer the questions. Use the elimination method on the answer choices, and read the question before scanning the case for necessary information. Otherwise you will not have enough time. Overall I thought it was ok (fingers crossed!), but definitely requires proper answering strategy to finish in time. There were many questions around logical deduction. E.g. 'which of the following statements, if true, supports (or NOT support) the trends in the data.' Not sure how to prepare for those – its really just logic and thinking each statement through.
