My question is, is it possible to crack BCG/McKinsey case in round 1 with just 5-10 live practice considering that I have studied over 100 case questions from MBA case books and also listened to LOMS several time?

Hello!
I think you should edit the question -or perhaps delete de post and re-write a new one, so it´s on top of the list-.

Hi there,
It totally depends on your current level – there is no magic number that guarantees a pass.
Some people do 5-10 cases and are already at a very good level. Others may have a pretty bad performance after 50+. It really depends on the type of cases you worked on, the feedback you received and your initial level before starting the prep.
Best,
Francesco
Hi Anonymous,
Here is very important to take into consideration your skills and level, because there is no uniform rule.
I can also recommend you to take at least a couple of sessions with a career coach. It will be great if somebody can help you to point out your strong and weak sides and define the easiest ways for you to achieve the best result. I and my colleagues here are happy and always ready to help you with solving this problem.
Was this helpful for you?

Hi Anonymous,
This depends on your level. This year's business analyst cases have been easy for McKinsey and Bain from my experience (for undergrad). I haven't done LOMS but one thing that is a key difference is that MBA casebooks and real cases is that MBA casebooks focus too much on math. Real cases are more creative and require less math.
Take from this as you will.
What specifically do you need advice on?
Hi,
You should better formulate the question
Thanks
