Hi there,
Remember that candidate-led is the most common format. So, if you're looking for "open-ended" cases, anything candidate-led (i.e not Mckinsey) is valid.
Furthermore, remember that what matters most is your caser.
Make sure to get wide exposure to all types of case (both standard and nonstandard ones) and all types of interviewers.
Now, that said, these are ones that I particularly like
- Columbia
- Cases by Firm
- Cases ranked by difficulty of Math, Structure, AND Creativity
- Stern
- Cases by interviewer vs interviewee-led
- Ranked by difficulty
- Haas
- Cases by interviewer vs interviewee-led
- Ranked by difficulty
- Darden
- Cases by Firm
- Cases ranked by difficulty across quantitative, qualitative, and overall
Now, remember, much more important than just reading a "hard" BCG case or having a friend case you in it, is actually how you're cased. I can make the easiest case be your worst nightmare (as can any other coach). Make sure that, if you're really trying to get pushed hard and get prepared for the toughest cases, you're looking at hiring a coach...delivery is truly key here!

Hello!
Agree with Antonello, top Business School books not only give you a great number of detailed cases, they also tell you which MBB it comes from!
Cheers,

Hi, I would suggest looking for the top-school casebooks. Partner cases are comparable do 1st round cases, so I would focus on finding real candidate-led cases
Best,
Antonello
