Hi there,
I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:
- In order to find examples of case studies that involve analyzing large amounts of data and are more math-intensive, you may want to consider browsing through PrepLounge's case study library and business school case study books. These resources may provide you with a variety of cases to practice with.
- However, it's important to note that the specific types of case studies you encounter during the interview process will depend on the consulting firm you are applying to and the role you are interviewing for. It may be worthwhile to consider why you are particularly interested in this type of case study, and to research the types of cases that are commonly used by the consulting firm you are applying to. This can help you better prepare and understand what to expect during the interview process.
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,
Hagen

Hi there,
Sure - happy to share a couple of examples of former McKinsey PST tests that were really focused on numerics.
Additionally, if you're interested in coaching, we can work on real McKinsey cases that are particularly difficult to test your interview readiness.
Best,
Cristian

Hi there,
- Ask a coach (I have hundreds)
- Ask your peers (they've done cases and can grab the most data-heavy ones)
- Search on Preplounge: https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases

Hello,
1) Online platforms - PrepLounge and CaseCoach have excellent case libraries. You can potentially filter per industry, difficulty level and type of skills being tested heavily (e.g. math)
2) Casebooks published by business schools!
All the best,
Rushabh
