Hi there,
I purchased E2E program by Mconsulting Prep 2 weeks ago and so far the course is worth of money. The materials are well organized and it even has clear study plans for you. Also the case interview videos are lots of fun and insightful. I used to have problems with math but the way of teaching in this course is really easy to understand and it doesn't feel frustrated at all. Even their free videos on youtube are helpful for a beginner. You should check it out.
Good luck!
I agreed. At first I didn't know where to start. Then a friend recommended this program and it turned out beyond my expectation. And this web also provide discount up to 35% when you fill in their financial aids form. This makes the course affordable. — Mike on Apr 20, 2020
There are tonnes of them out there. I will suggest that you start by listening to Case Interview podcast by Firmsconsulting anywhere you get your podcast.
That said, as you try to sieve through the numerous resources that others will eventually recommend to you, I will advise that you keep the following filters in mind:
I wish you the best!
Dear A,
There are lot of courses and materials, for example Case Books from business schools like London Business School, Higher Business School as well as Casing Point by Cosentino and, of course, LOMS by Victor Cheng.
If you need any help or some of these materials, feel free to reach out.
Best,
André

Hi there,
As for online courses specifically I'd say Victor Cheng's workshops are pretty clear and helpful (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8b_fmdDHHyCznYmSeWJrdrJN4UJhUrsh). There's also a number of audio recordings of case examples with his feedback and explanations called Look Over My Shoulder, quite popular among candidates.
However, the most helpful for me at first were the books: Case in Point (ideal in the very beginning, very simple and clear with lots of short cases), Crack the Case and Ace the Case.
And, most importantly, it's all about practice in the end. Once you get the usual case structures, it's best to get face-to-face case experience (or via video these days), that'll be the closest to the real interview experience.
Hope this helps, feel free to reach out if you have further questions!
Best regards,
Vasily

Hi,
For beginner, Victor Cheng's book and LOMS audios are a great start.
Once you get the basics, it would be better to choose courses that is not just 1-way, but have interactions e.g. courses conducted by a real person who can answer your questions, with coaching and practices that can help you diagnose improvement areas and guide you how to make those improvements.
Cheers,
Emily
Hello!
There are plenty and normally they are worth the money, as you can see some people saying here.
However, the issue is that they are not tailored to you, but standard.
I would suggest you to best invest that money in working with a coach who can tailor the prep you in particular: your strenghts and weaknesses, diagnosing what makes you struggle, etc.
Hope it helps!
Best,
Clara
Case Interviews can be led by the candidate or by the interviewer: In Candidate-led cases the main challenge is the structure. In Interviewer-led cases the main challenge is to adapt quickly
In order to repeatedly demonstrate prerequisite skills under the pressure of a real case interview, you need to learn the basics and practice cases.
