McKinsey fish, in terms of level of difficulty, how would you compare the cases on the McK website vs actual cases in the final round interviews?

They’re representative. They’re on the website for a reason

The biggest mistake I did going into the McK interview is OVER preparing and preparing for cases that are more “difficult” than the website ones. They just fundamentally test / look for different things. Stick the cases that are similar to the ones on McK because all 3 rounds I did were very similar in type, structure, and content

There are several resources on YouTube. My favorite at the time I was preparing was CraftingCases.

Ok thanks. Was wondering if the actual cases are much harder.

They/we’re not trying to trick you somehow by seeing who went out to find “harder” cases to practice on. If you can do the ones on the website well, you’ll be able to handle the cases we give for interviews well

The “harder” cases aren’t usually even actually more challenging, they’re just deliberately obscure or convoluted, which defeats the purpose of the process
