there are several free resources available that can help you practice and improve your skills. Here are a few options:
PrepLounge's Case Library: PrepLounge offers a wide range of case interview resources, including practice cases from top consulting firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain. You can find the case library here: [https://www.preplounge.com/en/management-consulting-cases]
Case Interview Examples: CaseInterview.com provides free case interview examples and solutions from various consulting firms. You can find McKinsey, BCG, and Bain case examples on their website.
Consulting Firm Websites: Consulting firms often provide sample cases or practice materials on their websites. You can visit the career or recruitment sections of McKinsey, BCG, and Bain's websites to see if they offer any free resources.
YouTube Channels: There are several YouTube channels dedicated to case interview preparation. Some popular channels include CaseInterview.com, Victor Cheng, and Consulting Guru. These channels often provide tips, frameworks, and practice cases that can be helpful for your preparation.
Remember, while these resources are free, it's important to practice consistently and simulate real case interview conditions as much as possible. Consider timing yourself, working through cases with a partner, and seeking feedback to enhance your performance.
I hope these resources help you in your preparation for McKinsey Solve, BCG Online case, Playmetrics, and Bain's online assessment

Hi there,
There are definitely some free ones (especially for the more GMAT online assessment styles). You won't really find a good one for Solve (makes sense - it's realyl expensive to produce a guide!).
I have a discount code for a few McKinsey Solve Guides (and BCG Chatbot simulations) - feel free to message!

As far as I know, the decent resources are not free. The ones that are free are typically just descriptive (prose) and not actually a simulation.
If you want quality - you have to pay for it.
All the best!

Hi there!
Sorry to hear about the financial situation.
Reach out potentially to some of the coaches who offer these things and ask whether they would want to give out for free. Maybe they'll empathise with your situation and offer it.
Aside from this, check out YouTube for walkthroughs of the game that give a good enough understanding of what to expect.
Best,
Cristian
