Hi there,

Finding them online is a challenge. However, I have 7 that I've acquired over the years from real interview situations. Feel free to message and we can work through them!

Hi Ali,

I think finding written case material online is going to be a challenge.

There are plenty of threads in the Q&A forum with tips/tricks on preparing for written cases- https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/written-case-interview-prep-9412

I have a good repository of written cases and they are available via a coaching session. So feel free to send me a direct message if you wish to discuss.

Hello!

Written case interviews are indeed becoming very fashionable nowadays as a way to interview!

Remember that the skillset tested is the same than in the "usual" cases, hence, all the practice you may have done totally plays in your favor. 

One important point to add is the need to be very 80-20, structured and to the point, since the prep time is very short, so we need discipline with the analysis to have enaugh time to prep the communication strategy. 

There are many many entries in thsi same Q&A regarding written cases, hence, I would recommend you to look with the keywords "written case"

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi,
case preparation will be the classical one with 2 additional points to focus on:

  • 80-20 prioritization: quickly navigate an important amount of data to find what really matters to the case resolution;
  • Executive summary: develop 1-2 pages to present that sum up the problem and your recommendations.

I have a couple of well-done written cases, feel free to text me for sharing.

Best,
Antonello
