If you did not advance

It is disappointing to put in the work and get this answer. This result does not define what you can contribute as a consultant.

You do not need to start another sitting today. Give yourself room to take it in.

When you are ready

1. Ask your recruiter whether feedback is available and when you may apply or sit again. Use their answer for your office and application; we do not give a fixed waiting period.
2. If a technical problem affected the sitting, describe what happened to the official support contact in your invitation. Prepare a short support message.
3. Keep the useful method from your practice. If another application is ahead, rehearse a case interview out loud or work through a personal-experience story.

CaseStar practice scores are not McKinsey scores, and they cannot explain an application decision.
