All you need to secure that offer from McKinsey, BCG or Bain ;)
There are tons of FREE resources out there! Admittedly, some are better than others. Here are some of the top ones that helped me in my application process.

Case Interviews/Practice
- Victor Cheng’s Case Interview Videos (Watch the 12 video series). It is a quick primer into the world of case interviews
- Crafting Cases. YouTube channel by Ex-MBB consultants on case interview tips and tricks
- Case Coach’s Sample Interview
Case Books
- Case Books by Business Schools (Some include: LBS 2013, Darden 2019, Fuqua 2016, Fuqua 2014, Wharton 2017, Stern 2018, Sloan 2015, Kellogg 2012, Yale 2013, Colombia 2006, Colombia 2011). While these are the main ones I used, there are tons out there. Huge Thanks to whoever uploaded these files :)
- Case Interview Secrets by Victor Cheng. While it is useful as an introduction to case interviews, I think you can gain more experience practicing instead.
- Sample Case Frameworks by Victor Cheng
- Case in Point by Marc Cosentino (Hint: The book PDF is somewhere on wallstreetoasis for free lol). Similar to Case Interview Secrets, I feel that it serves as a good introduction but you will need more practice to get to the next level of case mastery.
Free/Paid Case Interview Programs
There are tons of sites offering a paid training program for case interviews. While I think you can get by without them, here are some of the decent ones based on my/friend’s experiences.
- Crafting Cases Blog. Loads of valuable content here such as the issue tree guide! Check out their YouTube channel as well.
- Case Interview Overview & Case Interview Math by IgotAnOffer. They provide sample frameworks and math practices for free.
- RocketBlocks Consulting Blog. Various posts on the aspects of case interviews that are worth a quick read
- Case Coach. Their paid interview prep course (USD 125) is pretty decent with up-to-date practice cases and training modules. Do check out their blog as well for free case interview content.
