You cannot unleash your potential
in full if you
Have read a lot of literature (like V. Chang, Casentino), got through casebooks of business schools and developed initial understanding of case interview but haven't managed to systemize your knowledge yet
feel too nervous during preparation, not able to focus, experiencing the fear of rejection
have no idea how to sell your experience in Fit, the "just be yourself" advice is not an option for you
swipe left
fail to prioritize aspects of your preparation; you opt for solving as many cases as you can while lacking the focus on your weaknesses
focus only on structures and pay no attention to the development of business sense and maths
Lack clear algorithms for each particular case and you use widespread frameworks or dream up them from scratch, have no idea how to build custom structures for non-standard public sector cases

Battle tested content and learning approach based on statistics of candidates. Regular content updates with real MBB cases.

Course structure
Most courses teach a specific interview skill – like structuring, this creates candidates who don’t see the bigger picture. To us interview success is a science so we cover a wider view
