for the case interviews..... the ones online and the ones they give you for practice are always much easier than the interviews..... maybe because of the pressure in the interview or something else, but thats what i found.

Typically for the interview... if you approach it from a financial perspective they will tell you thats what bankers or PE guys do and to not worry about that. Otherwise.... they wont lead you along in any respect and there is only one right answer for a problem.

When you take practice interviews i feel they are much more open to possible operational inefficiencies or marketing problems etc. For the actual interview I felt like they had a problem: decline in sales... then expected one specific answer.

The best part is that for at least the Bain interviews..... they have laminated slides that run through the specific case..... so unless you have the answer to the question thats featured on slide 3.... your just going to sit there painfully running through everything you can think of.....

My suggestion is keep running through the case studies and try to not look ahead at the case as it goes so that you can at least have a couple of usual answers to common problems as I feel that most of the time its only a few possibilities that they look for in each problem they present.
