Hi, I wanted to know how close are the practice cases that McKinsey provides online on their website to the actual ones they do during first round/final round case interviews? Are the similar? What about in terms of difficulty and structure? Thanks!
Back to overview
What about the math difficulty for final rounds? Are they the same as the cases online?
Be the first to answer!
Nobody has responded to this question yet.
Hi,
The cases on their website and the ones they provide in their case "coaching session" are pretty representative overall, both in structure and difficulty.
Where they differ slightly is that their cases tend to be less “framework-friendly” than typical prep material, you’ll often need to build your structure from scratch without relying on the typical frameworks you can find online, which can make them feel a bit harder.
For first rounds, what you see online is quite close to reality. For final rounds, it’s a bit broader, more variation, sometimes more unconventional or discussion-driven cases, so you need to be comfortable thinking on your feet beyond standard formats.
Regards,
Franco
