Ultimate Consulting Case Interview Resource List (2022)

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.

This article is part of a series I wrote that details my experience interviewing and getting offered by various consulting firms. Do check it out here!

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.
