Hi there, 

If you are only starting, the Preplounge case library will be more than enough to get into it. 

Don't end up in a mind trap where you feel like you've done something toward your goal just by downloading the best practice book:) The best way is the practice!

Cheers,

Hello!

Normally the newest and up-to-date ones belong to the Consulting Clubs in each uni and are not shared.

However, have you seen prepL´s library? Particularly the experts section, that is new, and for sure updated. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

1) There's a HUGE list here (14 casebooks, scroll down to item #12):

https://www.firmsconsulting.com/quarterly/case-interview-examples/

2) Most of the coach-created cases (including smart Eduction) are very good. Check out all of them here!

https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases?language=en&style[]=expert-case&sort=real-case-desc&page=1&perPage=20

3) I like the following MBA casebooks

  • Ross - great firm overview, industry overview, key concepts, and the cases aren't bad (they also include proposed frameworks)
  • Stern - EXCELLENT industry overview, cases not just good but really clear and easy to follow
  • Columbia - awesome in late stages when looking to focus on certain areas. In their table of contents (and in header of each case), they lay out not just industry and case type, but firm (BCG, Bain, etc.), concepts tested (breakeven, brainstorming, etc.) AND difficulty across math, structure, and creativity

Hi A!

Here are a few case books for download. The cases typically don't change year on year in the casebooks and also in the interview process, so it's perfectly fine to use one that is a couple of years old.

Hope this helps!
