Case Studies for practice interviews
So I've got a friend who's willing to spend some time to conduct practice case study interviews for me. He has no consulting background so where I can find case studies formatted to allow a person with no consulting background to accurately conduct a case study that is closest to an actual setting.
Basically what you would give to your mom to act as an interviewer.
I've got Case in Point on hand so that's nice, but I'm looking for more. Perhaps some simpler ones to get my friend started and used to the whole consulting thing.

Thanks,
Those are neat resources but don't have what I'm looking for. But they come pretty close especially the second link. I'm looking for templates which a clueless person can jump right into and conduct an interview for me. Something like the ones at the back of "Case in Point".
They come complete with prompts and things to look for and ask etc.
I see what you mean...
If you find something be sure to post it. I'd be very interested.
The WSO Consulting Case Interview Guide was designed for this exact situation.
I've seen the WSO Guide and for $30, I think it's more useful than Case in Point.
If you have business school on campus or a consulting club, ask them for a guide that they produced. I've seen many of these and they are formatted in such a way that they'd be useful to you in your situation.

Can anyone recommend any good books/websites/anything else for good business analyst level practice case studies for strat consulting?
If they're MBA level case studies, that's fine as well.
Thanks.
The vault guide to case interviews gives some good general info. After that, "Case in Point" is a great practice aid. It teaches you how to successfully go through a case interview and offers interactive practice cases which are great.
Ideally, you would at least look through a couple of them. But if you had to choose only one, I would say "Case in Point."
