Case Math Intensive

Go from swimming in numbers to mastering them

“I’m going to change the assumption – can you run that calculation again?” Words that no candidate wants to hear inside of a case interview. It’s now – in a pressure situation – that your math training kicks in. Do you remember to stay structured? Do you round a step too early? Do you forget the business insight? If you’ve done drill-based prep, this is where the scenarios you’ve been practicing come into play.

There are 3 types of math problems you’ll see in a case interview: Verbal Math, Chart Math, and Graph Math. In the intensive, we’ll do a deep dive into each one of these math varieties. Doing generic math drills will help you strengthen the mechanics of your math, but those alone won’t prepare you for the problems embedded inside of case interviews.

Without understanding how to break down and structure your approach to a quantitative problem, you won’t pass the case interview. An ease with calculations is one of the first things interviewers look for, and it separates top candidates from the rest.

No candidate succeeds without being able to size a market in their sleep, break down a chart in under a minute, or gather business insights from a graph. Make sure you’re prepared for every type of math consulting firms will throw at you.
