Hi there,
Here's a "secret": The years on the school case books don't really matter. They might tweak a thing or two, add or remove a case or two, but that's normally it!
That being said, I personally like:
I like Darden 2019, great in both cases and knowlege foundation. Next best are Fuqua 2015 and Wharton 2015 (I don't have access to newer versions), a little too much how-tos but cases are great.
Hello,
I am not familiar with business school books but in any case I would concentrate on choosing only one book that you like (I have always worked with Case in Point which I find very good).
The most important thing is to build your frameworks toolbox and then switch to the next step: test yourself in a real interview situation (eg with other candidates then coaches). Indeed, in real life, you should generally not try to map frameworks with the case study but build something tailor-made. You can understand this through a real discussion that looks like a real interview.
At your disposal to talk about it in PM if you wish.
Hello!
Instead of focusing on one school in particular or even one year in particular. Once you have seen some, you will see that types of cases and conceps are indeed pretty repetitive.
I would try to choose a few, to avoid any "bias" that any of the schools are supposed to have, and build your own library.
On top, you can leverage the one in PrepL.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
In order to repeatedly demonstrate prerequisite skills under the pressure of a real case interview, you need to learn the basics and practice cases.
