The official casebook of Wharton's consulting club, one of the most respected and most recent available freely. Recent edition: this is the kind of casebook to work through first, as its cases reflect the industries and formats being used today.

An overview of industries, frameworks and eight practice cases, from a recent European perspective. Recent edition: this is the kind of casebook to work through first, as its cases reflect the industries and formats being used today.

Thirteen university casebooks (Harvard, MIT, Wharton, Haas, Columbia, Duke, Darden, Ross, ESADE, Goizueta, Illinois, LBS, Notre Dame), the official cases of ten firms, and three free bonus documents: twenty solved brain teasers, a complete guide to estimation cases and a guide to leadership. The three free bonuses are the real find: the solved brain teasers and the estimation guide do not exist anywhere else in this form.

A casebook designed for undergraduate profiles, ideal for junior candidates. Recent edition: this is the kind of casebook to work through first, as its cases reflect the industries and formats being used today.

An artificial intelligence practice chatbot that runs cases from the PrepLounge library and returns automatic feedback on your answer. Handy when no human partner is available. The AI feedback remains weaker than a real debrief: keep it for repetition, not for assessment.

The leading French-language media outlet covering strategy consulting in France. Its articles cover the three main case types (business case, market sizing, brainteasers), interview preparation and the mistakes that cost candidates an offer. Read it for knowledge of the French market, which English-language sites lack: who is hiring, at what pace, and what the Paris offices actually expect.

An entirely free platform, with no paid content, offering 315 cases across 14 types, a bank of 730 aptitude questions all with solutions, mental maths drills and a CV review tool. Nothing is paid, but signing up requires a verified school email address (business school domains, .edu, .ac.in), so it is out of reach without student status. The catalogue is partly geared towards the Indian market.

A site whose free fit interview guide presents the A-STAR method and compares the specific expectations of McKinsey, BCG and Bain on questions that look identical. The firm-by-firm comparison is the main contribution: the three do not assess the same qualities behind the same questions.

Practice tools, including ten MECE issue tree templates covering profitability, market entry, mergers and acquisitions and pricing, and a structuring drill with automatic AI feedback, plus a pack of CV templates inspired by the career centres of Penn, Yale, MIT and Harvard. The issue tree templates are to be used as an answer key: build your own tree first, then compare. The CV templates are to be adapted to your profile, not reused as they are.

A coaching platform whose free library contains a detailed guide to the four traits assessed in the McKinsey PEI and a consulting CV guide with a template. The coaching is paid, the article library is free. The PEI guide is a good complement to Victor Cheng's, with a more operational preparation checklist.

The Management Consulted podcast, 710 episodes, several releases a week: former consultants work through BCG and Bain cases out loud and comment on recruiting news. The most active in this directory, with episodes published up to July 2026. Hearing a case solved in real time teaches the speaking rate and the transition phrases expected, which no written document conveys.

Around twenty videos and tutorials: frameworks explained, commented cases from the WatchMyCase series, Crack the Case workshops, a PowerPoint course for consultants and filmed coaching sessions. Some of the videos are free, the rest require a Premium subscription, and the filter is visible on the page. The commented WatchMyCase cases are the most useful part of the free section.

An archive of 66 episodes by two former McKinsey and Bain consultants, taking apart structuring, maths, fit and the mistakes that come up most often in interviews. The podcast is no longer being updated: a single episode in 2025, the latest dating from March 2025 despite the weekly release promised on the site. The archive remains excellent and the content does not go stale, but do not count on new episodes.

A closed French-language series of twelve episodes produced by the consulting industry's professional body, in which consultants describe the reality of their job: recruiting, data, CSR, strategy, communication, mobility. The series has ended, was published in late 2022 and is still available on Spotify and Deezer. The focus is on the professions, not on interview technique: listen to it before preparing your fit answers, so you can answer “why consulting?” honestly.

Six hours of free video by a former McKinsey consultant, with an interactive mental maths tool, downloadable framework slides and a guide dedicated to the Personal Experience Interview. Still online, with the page updated in October 2025; access requires a first name and an email address. The teaching has aged on frameworks, but the part on communicating during a case remains a reference.

Mock case interviews filmed in full, led by former McKinsey, BCG and Bain consultants, with the interviewer's debrief at the end. Watch a complete mock interview after attempting the same type of case yourself: it is the fastest way to understand the pace and the level of detail expected.

A free trial of each of the three McKinsey Solve simulations (Sea Wolf, Redrock and Sustainable Futures Lab), accompanied by explanatory guides for each game. An alternative to solvegamesguide.com, with the advantage of being backed by an identified platform. One trial per game is enough to get familiar with the interface.

A free numerical reasoning test example with its solutions, accompanied by explanatory video tutorials; the complete series are paid. The video tutorials explain the logic of each question type, which competing test banks often lack, and that is the genuinely free part that has value.

An independent simulator, with no connection to McKinsey, reproducing the three Solve exercises (Sea Wolf, Redrock and Sustainable Futures Lab), with a free trial of one session per game and a detailed score report. A word of caution: this site is neither published nor endorsed by McKinsey, despite the heavy use of the game names. The free trial asks for no credit card and is enough to avoid discovering the interface on the day, which is the main point.

Free practice questions reproducing the format of the BCG Potential Test and of KPMG's recruitment tests, in verbal, numerical, logical and situational judgement. A few free questions per firm, with no credit card: enough to calibrate your level and spot the test family you are weak on.

One free PwC test after signing up, backed by a paid catalogue of twenty tests totalling 226 questions that reproduce the numerical, logical and situational judgement assessments of PwC recruitment. The free test is enough to discover the format and gauge your level; the complete catalogue is reserved for subscribers.

A free guide to the format of Deloitte's immersive test, its scenarios and the competencies actually assessed. The Deloitte test is one of the most opaque on the market: this guide is one of the few reliable and detailed descriptions freely available.
