I am stunned by the incredible lack of clarity for a book whose sole purpose is to prepare you to lay out your thinking in the most clear way during a case interview. The Ivy Case System is pointless. There is no learning involved, it is only memorization of 12 case types and the follow up questions for each. Once you have done that, it is admitted that cases almost NEVER fall into only one type so you are back to just thinking through each situation logically as if you had never For being one of the most popular case books, I found this book less useful than expected.
If you are completely unfamiliar with what a case interview is, it may be a good introduction and overview to general approaches that can be taken to address cases.
Good introduction and beginning guide for aspiring consultants. Provides a good baseline and proper advice for developing true case study skills. The book presents a good starting point to practice case interviews useful to land a consulting job. The reason for the 4 stars rating is that, from my point of view, the cases are not challenging and complex enough.
Note: to maximize the potential of this book, you should have a partner that is able to be the interviewer. Another nice introductory book for case interview preparation. Just like Cheng's Case interview secret minus the constant reminder to buy the course. I really love the chapter about estimation, I could grasp it better than from Cheng's.
Also contain various examples of interview. This book is great, it would be even better to practice this with a partner for more realistic experience. Great starter for those, who would like to find out more about case interviews and the mental tools that could help to solve puzzles related to diversified business situations.
What could be improved is the consistency between 20 cases to read at the end and the methodology presented at the beginning of the book. This books multiple frameworks make it incredibly difficult to prepare for a real interview. Definitely take good notes on the multiple questions that you are encouraged to ask within - these are definitely useful. A good start for fresh graduates who wants to start a career in Management Consulting. If you want to do Consulting, it certainly has a lot of good techniques to use for casing.
Decent guide for complete case prep newbies, but loses usefulness after the first cases. Cosentino's example cases are in the form of a pre-written dialogue, which means loss in usefulness comes from 2 areas: 1 The dialogue NEVER asks the interviewee to structure issues or walk through their issue structure at least from what I remember.
Very well written, but needs more emphasis on how to apply the teachings and how to come up with structures when in a case interview as opposed to simply being asked to memorize the preconceived structures suggested by the author. This book was great for learning estimation questions, though I found the number of frameworks not as helpful for going through other types of cases.
Great book! It really helps you develop the tools and the mindset required to confidently respond to case interviews and other everyday mind challenging issues. A must read for anyone who wants to broaden their business sense or prepare for a product type interview. Might even be quite helpful in some technical interviews at larger companies. Super useful book.

So you have a list of books you need to buy for college. There are some really great resources for finding them online, but I'm going to run through the easiest methods for searching all of them here.
First, let's start off by using the method that will allow you to find the vast majority of books. It tends to be easier if you can search multiple sites at once, and this is the easiest way to do it. Also search on Library Genesis since it's not showing up in the search results for some odd reason. This should be able to find most of your books. Unfortunately, not every book ever published is going to be on the internet.
Trying 'ext:pdf title of book ' into Google might also yield some results, just be careful what you click on. You can download ebooks via irc. You obviously need an IRC client installed, a quick google search should find you a bunch of decent free ones. This will take you into the ebooks channel, which has more than 2. Once you're in, all you have to do to find what you want is to simply type:. You'll get a message saying that your search has been accepted.
A few seconds later a searchbot will offer you a file, so accept the download. That will send you a. Extract that and you'll get a list of files. I searched for Lian Hearn and got a list of files. Here's an extract from it:. Say I wanted to download the first book. I'd copy the text shown below, deliberately removing the file size information I've been booted for that before :. Then just paste that into the IRC window then press enter. After seconds you get a prompt asking you to accept or decline the file.
You know how to do the rest. There are private torrent trackers that require either registration or an invite from someone else already on the site in order to join. It's not advisable to try to gain access to one for just a few textbooks seeing as most require some sort of effort to look for something that may or may not be there.
FreeTheTextbooks might be worth it as it's open signup. By now you're probably not going to find the book online. However, you still have many options.
You can rent it from Chegg, get it used from Biblio. Chegg is a site where you can rent or buy used textbooks and also read some of the online.
