Hi everyone,

I’m about to begin the interview rounds at BCG and would love any recommendations on materials to help me prepare.

Looking forward to your insights!

Best, Pieter

Hi Pieter,

I recommend to prepare the interviews by combining multiple resources. Start by reading some books to understand the case basics and framework. Leverage some online resources to practice cases with peers to improve you case skills. Use a coach to help you during the entire process and to get help on your main points of improvement and bring your skills to a next level. 

Feel free to reach out via chat for further info.

Good luck!

Mattijs

Hi Pieter,

I recommend for BCG prep, focus on CaseCoach for structured practice, BCG’s own site for real-style cases, and PrepLounge to get live practice with peers. Maybe add Victor Cheng for frameworks and sharpen your fit stories with clear impact. Practicing out loud is key! Best of luck!

Thanks for the question, Pieter. I second everything that the other coaches have mentioned. Would emphasize that nothing replaces live interview practice with another human being. That's where you get to practice the intangibles like how you deliver insights verbally, how you keep your composure when answering questions etc.

In terms of resources, my personal take is that the Crafting Cases course is one of the best free resources out there for the modern approach to cracking case interviews, though reading Case in Point and Victor Cheng's stuff is also great as a foundation (though can be a bit outdated). Hope this helps and all the best!
