Resources for Case Interview Preparation

There are many resources, at the career centre and elsewhere online, to prepare for case interviews. There is no need to pay for costly preparation support if you start well enough in advance.

The McGill Consulting Association Case book has many cases which you can use. The McGill Soutar Career Centre online portal has casebooks from other consulting feeder schools as well as interactive cases from consulting firm websites. The centre library also has many books about preparing for the case interview.

Use How to Conduct a Mock Case Interview to help you select good cases. 

The Management Consulting Association also has many resources and activities that can help.
