Hi Ali,

Welcome to PrepLounge :)

Here you can find the following types of practice material:

  • Case Library : Our selection of case studies mirror the wide variety in real case interviews. Thus you can solve challenging problems around market sizing, market entry, pricing or operations strategy.
  • Brain Teaser: As you can tell by its name, a brain teaser is a riddle or puzzle, which is designed to challenge your logical thinking.
  • Self Study Mode: This is a new feature that allows you to practice personal fit questions.

Hope this helps!

These systems are managed by a central team in the US which is responsible for all IT issues across the business. They triage issues/enhancements and then manage development teams in India and Finland who complete the work.
