Hi all,
Are there any examples(including solutions) on preplounge for guesstimate questions? Or does anyone have a good source for them on the web? Really haven't had any luck researching this so far...
Thanks!
Best,
Andreas

Andreas,
Case In Point is my favorite resource to practice guesstimate questions. I have used it before joning to BCG 10 years ago. I had 3 guesstimate questions during my interviewing cases.
I also used to do guesstimated as interviewer during my time at BCG. Feel free to schedule a session with me to practice & strategize
Best,
Guillem
