What book/resources is recommended for MBB case preparation?

Hi!

I am a first year MBA (top tier EU MBA) student, and I have got rejected by McKinsey after first round of interview (summer associate internship). The feedback was that the structure could be more fitted to the case prompt. I wonder is there any good resources for me read to prepare for the full-time application?

I have used rocket block, case coach and craft case. And I haven’t read case in point book.

Many thanks in advance!

Don't bother with Case and Point, it's outdated and all the tricks it teaches are frowned upon in current interview styles. Same goes for Case Interview Secrets. 

Best thing you can do right now is network with current consultants at your target offices and then practice cases with them. They're the gatekeepers and will best know how to coach you, much more than any book will.

Remember, always be kind-hearted.
