Casebooks are only useful to give you a rough sense of what the interviews will look like and what you have to do. Actual cases do not matter by the way, so they are all equal in that respect:. A math exercise will have a single right answer, and often a single right/best way to do it. Not so with the cases. These casebooks are just tools, a means towards an end. If you have a case book, any case book... you are good to go.

Now, the one thing you need to do to prepare well, is find someone who will give you the specific, relevant, actionable feedback YOU need to improve.

Hi,

There are certain criteria for the referral:

1. The consultant makes you a reference in the system and uploads your resume. Usually, he has to indicate why he thinks you are a good candidate
2. You skip some steps in the recruiting process (CV screening at McK, Test at Bain)
3. The consultant gets a referral bonus ($) if you get a job offer

So in your case, you will pass the resume screening and they will invite you to write a PST.

Best!

Hi,

I confirm this is the same at ATK. Interviewers don't talk to each other until the round is over.

They sometimes do meet after the interviews for an informal debrief but again it's after your have completed to 2 interviews of each round.
