Whats the best way to prep for BCG cases? It seems hard to find quality materials or role play for candidate-driven cases. Mckinsey interviews seem way easier to prep for because each question mostly stands on its own. Any ideas?

Preplounge for case partners, it's a global platform that's well known so you can usually find partners for any time you want. Preplounge also has its own library of cases, though it's a hit and miss. Consulting club case books are your best bet - Darden, Columbia, Wharton are some of the good ones. You should be able to find PDFs online, search by name and year (eg. Darden case book 2019). If you're part of a consulting club, you'll find resources there as well.

I used rocket blocks to find case partners and just googled mba casebooks for materials. Was an experienced hire so didn’t have biz school resources to use

UVA Darden was the best imo
