So I have a simon kucher phone interview this week. Has anybody got any insight into what they could ask? Do they often give u little brainteasers or cases?

Also I have an interview with mars consulting, no idea what it will entail. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers :biggrin:

So I got a McKinsey offer. I'm from a non target uni so I guess it doesn't matter too much.

I read on this thread that someone got an offer from LEK and all their preparation was Case In Point. I bought Case In Point after reading that and it's all the preparation I did too (and a handful of practice cases).

Good luck everyone with the interviews!



well done ! i thought it was a great book, glad it worked for you too :smile:

Rejected from SKP without interview.
The dream of Strat consulting will need to be put on hold for a few years it seems.

Cheers. No I wouldn't say the tests are harder, I can only assume they look at the app and tests together and I got rejected from my app because I thought the tests went alright (even after a huge performance with SHL screwing me over and me having to ring SKP 3/4 times). Since they took over a week to send me the tests I assumed I had passed the CV tests, but maybe not and they send tests to everyone.

I have PA Consulting I am still waiting on (taking forever!). And an interview with an Insurance company. And 1/2 more apps.

It's frustrating but I guess I just have to realise that maybe right now I'm not cut out for strat consulting and maybe moving from industry a few years down the line will be a better path for me.

But if I don't get anything at all then apply to places for 2013 and hopefully do a bit of travelling.

Good luck with your SKP tests.

Anyone interested in practicing cases over Skype? I have done over 50 cases and have final round MBB experience. Just send me a PM and we can schedule something.

The 45min threw me off as well but then I realised that is with the practice test. I think it was 18min Logical, 25min Numerical.
Time pressure same as all tests I would say. So less pressured on logical compared to numerical.

Hey everyone,

does anyone know what kind of numerical test IMS Consulting Group has? Is it an shl or GMAT, harder easier than L.E.K. and/or OW?

Thanks a lot in advance!
Has anyone had an OW interview last week and are still waiting to hear back?

Thanks
