I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

Where can I get a consolidated view of the types of math questions in case interviews for MBB?

Hi,

I'm afraid the best and the only way is to download all casebooks available online and go through the math problems in the cases. Several formulas and tools can be useful:

  • Interest rates calculations
  • Compound margin
  • NPV using the Rule of 72, Perperuity
  • CAGR using the Rule of 72
  • Currencies exchange calculations
  • Speed, time, distance calculations
  • Equations, systems of equations
  • Ratio & Proportions
  • Solving the problems by calculating the area of the triangle
  • Profit / breakeven formula
  • Correlations, outliers (being able to spot on the graphs, tables)

Best!
