Hey there,

I recommend a simple approach.

First, learn about how to properly create a framework focusing on a habit-based approach, i.e. learning what steps to take in a structure question rather than learning or force-fitting existing frameworks onto a case. This can be done by watching some tutorials or videos, however, most effectively with a coach who is an expert for the type of case (candidate-led BCG and Bain style vs. interviewer-led McKinsey style).

I have written some other answers on these points here:

https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/resources-for-advanced-interviewer-led-mckinsey-cases-9935

https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/are-mckinsey-website-practice-cases-representative-for-what-will-come-10002

Once you have the methodology down, in the second step, you can practice structure, market sizing, and mental math.

  • Structure: Use the case library here and just look at the structure questions, use university case books, create your own structure questions in daily life, and using newspaper articles
  • Market sizing: Use the case library here and just look at the market sizing questions, use university case books, create your own market sizing questions in daily life, and using newspaper articles
  • Mental math: Use the tool on PrepLounge to create number drills and practice 1 hour a day

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

We can't share links here but I highly recommend the PrepLounge resources for all the above! In particular, the Q&As are great for seeing prompts + structures for both market sizing and prompts/frameworks.

In addition, RocketBlocks is fantastic for practicing contextual math + charts/exhibits.

The best way to practice frameworks is with a coach.
