Great book for people who have never encountered a case interview before. This is the book for all the basics that you can build on. However, be wary of forcing all cases into the 12 frameworks they provided. Most cases don't fit nicely into these packages and the book does not cover Private Equity cases.

Almost useless. I am stunned by the incredible lack of clarity for a book whose sole purpose is to prepare you to lay out your thinking in the most clear way during a case interview.
The Ivy Case System is pointless. There is no learning involved, it is only memorization of 12 case types and the follow up questions for each. Once you have done that, it is admitted that cases almost NEVER fall into only one type so you are back to just thinking through each situation logically as if you had never...more

For being one of the most popular case books, I found this book less useful than expected. The one thing that I will say it does have going for it is that it’s a quick read. If you are completely unfamiliar with what a case interview is, it may be a good introduction and overview to general approaches that can be taken to address cases. That being said, if you’re looking for true case preparation, I’d recommend “Case Interview Secrets” by Victor Cheng as I think it gives a structure that is easi...more

This is all I read for McK interview prep.
Good introduction and beginning guide for aspiring consultants. Provides a good baseline and proper advice for developing true case study skills.
The book presents a good starting point to practice case interviews useful to land a consulting job.
The reason for the 4 stars rating is that, from my point of view, the cases are not challenging and complex enough.
Note: to maximize the potential of this book, you should have a partner that is able to be the interviewer.

Another nice introductory book for case interview preparation. Just like Cheng's Case interview secret minus the constant reminder to buy the course. I really love the chapter about estimation, I could grasp it better than from Cheng's. Also contain various examples of interview. This book is great, it would be even better to practice this with a partner for more realistic experience.

Great starter for those, who would like to find out more about case interviews and the mental tools that could help to solve puzzles related to diversified business situations. What could be improved is the consistency between 20 cases to read at the end and the methodology presented at the beginning of the book.

Read Case Interview Secrets by Victor Cheng instead. This books multiple frameworks make it incredibly difficult to prepare for a real interview. Definitely take good notes on the multiple questions that you are encouraged to ask within - these are definitely useful.
A good start for fresh graduates who wants to start a career in Management Consulting.
Hmm
This is a nice refresher if you’ve been out of grad school for a decade.

If you want to do Consulting, it certainly has a lot of good techniques to use for casing.

A good starter book for casing. Got my feet in the water.
While the book is written for case interview prep, it’s a great resource for anyone thinking through business strategy generally.
Jan 24, 2015William Gan rated it liked it
Decent guide for complete case prep newbies, but loses usefulness after the first 3-4 cases.
Cosentino's example cases are in the form of a pre-written dialogue, which means loss in usefulness comes from 2 areas:
1) The dialogue NEVER asks the interviewee to structure issues or walk through their issue structure (at least from what I remember).
2) Your case partner is probably not going to walk through issues in the same pre-formatted way that the in-book interviewee does.

Very well written, but needs more emphasis on how to apply the teachings and how to come up with structures when in a case interview as opposed to simply being asked to memorize the preconceived structures suggested by the author.
Jun 02, 2014Pablo Simmonds rated it really liked it · review of another edition
Didn't finish the book, as I moved on to Victor Cheng's Look Over My Shoulder audio series. This book was great for learning estimation questions, though I found the number of frameworks not as helpful for going through other types of cases.
Great book! It really helps you develop the tools and the mindset required to confidently respond to case interviews and other everyday mind challenging issues.
A must read for anyone who wants to broaden their business sense or prepare for a product type interview. Might even be quite helpful in some technical interviews at larger companies.

An excellent resource for case interview preparation. I found the Kindle version frustrating however, as the book contains tables and sample cases that don't suit the Kindle format.
