I have a 1st round interview coming up with McKinsey in January. So far, I have dedicated about 50 hours to studying (including the CraftingCases fundamentals course, RocketBlocks drills, and live practice).

What are some good tools/reading materials/resources that others have used to get better at this? Heard Case in Point is “outdated” but wondering if it may be helpful to read, just for the business context.

Thanks!
