Wolves are currently in the middle of a four-game run of facing the top-flight title contenders, having suffered defeat at Chelsea before beating Manchester City last week.
A trip to Manchester United awaits on Saturday before Wolves welcome second-placed Arsenal to Molineux next midweek.
Following that double-header, Wolves embark on a run of games up to Christmas which McCarthy believes will have a more significant bearing on his team's season.
McCarthy said: "We've got United and Arsenal around the corner, but the bigger test is to play against Bolton, Blackburn, Sunderland, Wigan - all the teams that will be around us.
"They are all coming up and they are the ones that we have to play well in, and graft in, and put good performances in."
McCarthy admits Wolves sometimes lack a killer instinct in front of goal, but feels his side can take heart from last week's performance in losing 3-2 at United in the Carling Cup.
He said: "Confidence has never been in doubt, perhaps just that killer instinct in front of goal and sometimes that mean streak.
"But I think we can go to United with more confidence about things because of the way we played last week and hopefully we can score again."
