Hi everyone,

May I please know from your experience,
Where is the best source to find Quality McKinsey-specific Cases?

-Which Casebook do you find quality McKinsey cases most?
-Where can we practise McKinsey-related quant questions especially. (Not just quant questions in general)
Noticing that they do test specific aspects and questions.

Appreciate your kind response. 
Thank you.

Hey there,

It's always tricky to look for McKinsey-specific cases and to be fair, there is not a lot (of good materials) out there. Most cases you can find are traditional business cases + interviewee-led.

My suggestion is to use the common resources (PrepLounge and university case books) and pick cases that are creative + you can change the format to interviewer-led cases yourself.

If you want to get some detailed intro to McKinsey cases so that you are able to pick the right practice cases, check out my article on it here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/mckinsey-interview

Alternatively, check out my evaluation of the McKinsey website cases here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/are-mckinsey-website-practice-cases-representative-for-what-will-come-10002

Thirdly, you might want to practice with a McKinsey coach to get real McKinsey cases and feedback.

Cheers,

Florian

Hello,

McKinsey have some practice cases on their website, and I believe Victor Cheng has a package of McKinsey-style cases that all contain detailed quant questions.
