Hi, Does anyone know any good sites or books that can get me started on practising case studies? i have assesments coming up for Cap and PA and have never done one before.

Ruth - take a look at the McKinsey website page on "interview preparation" (<a href=http://www.mckinsey.com/aboutus/careers/interviewprep/>http://www.mckinsey.com/aboutus/careers/interviewprep/</a>). You will find both case study tips and also some case study examples to work through. Best of luck, Tony

Thanks. I have been looking at a few other threads and found somone talking about the &apos;case study interview guide&apos; from top-consultant.com. can i download this n how do i purchase it if its still available?

Ruth - thanks for your message back. The case study guide is still available from: <a href=http://www.top-consultant.com/UK/ebooks/list.asp>http://www.top-consultant.com/UK/ebooks/list.asp</a>. We&apos;re about to start offering tutoring sessions in which we run through case study examples with readers via a live online webconference call. The first of these will run early August. Possibly too late for you, but details will appear in forthcoming newsletter editions if of interest. Tony

Vault book is very good. Some difficult examples but when it comes to the real thing it helps alot.

Ruth - following on from my earlier response, your message has spurred us on to get the next case study workshops organised ASAP. We ran one 3-4 weeks ago and it was a great success, got great feedback from candidates about how useful it was.So "hot off the press", <a href=http://www.top-consultant.com/UK/events/Article_display.asp?ID=140>here&apos;s the URL for details of the three forthcoming workshops</a>Hope to see you on a future workshop. Tony

A good interactive website for case interviews.
