Preplounge is really good! And prices are fairly reasonable, especially for the shorter time periods. Helped me a lot, and made a few friends off the site too.

Practice with a few members (~20) and prior to your interview, consider an Expert (~1-2). Great Q&A and Case section, and resources in general. One advice would be to set your "practice level" as Advanced or Pro, never Novice because they are ostracized. Good luck! :)

 

Thanks for the insight. Do you recommend the premium membership? Outside of mock meetings, how helpful were the case resources and the case library.

 

Depends on how long you have till your interviews. But I'd suggest reviewing some of the resources first and trying a few mock practice cases with others, before signing up for the premium membership (there are varying lengths from 1 week to a few months if I am not wrong).

The case resources are very useful, honestly a GEM for the price point imo (considering most other resources cost hundred upwards). And I don't think you will manage to finish practicing all of them - which says a lot :)
