Instead of memorizing case structures like Case in Point teaches it forces you to practice structuing, brainstorming, math and all the aspects that are critical to a case.

Anyway, great resources from the Georgia Tech Consulting Club, thanks!
Another interesting thing to know: some consultancies actually organize mock cases workshops, sometimes by free registration (and then selection, of course), sometimes organized by some biz-school alumni within the firm. However, it’s not always easy to find out about these events, and I haven’t found a single website that was putting together the details of such events for all top consultancies. Any idea?

I refrained from suggesting “Case in Point” directly because many people that I’ve helped prepare have *memorized* the book. That’s a mistake. It’s clear when a person is gives canned “case-in-point” answers, and it is a turn-off. The book has its place, but use it sparingly ; )

The case prep resources on the McKinsey and BCG sites are *awesome* though. You should definitely check those out… especially if you’re planning to interview with one of those companies… They tell you *exactly* what they’re looking for in the interview!

I’d recommend the “Case in Point” Cosentino book, which has been recommended to me numerous times, and with which I know many people (including myself) successfully practiced for job interviews at consulting firms like BCG, McKinsey, etc.

I’ve had a brief look at the “Ace the Case” serie, which seems fine but I didn’t practice with it. Also, McKinsey, Bain and others offer online example of case interviews.
