The best way to prepare is find a group of people also preparing and give each other case interviews. You’ll learn very quickly what the experience is from the interviewee and interviewer perspective.

The companies are very transparent on what they’re looking for and there’s lots of material available online. Practice is what will help you prepare.

Google, fishbowl, MBA, referral, case prep with others
