5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to prepare for consulting interviews!
Volume I is excellent - this is even better! I've used both and highly recommend them. Other guides I've seen are not nearly as smart as the WetFeet.com guides. My interviewers were impressed with the skill I exhibited and the insights I offered in response to their case questions. Helped me land a great job at a top consulting firm!

3.0 out of 5 stars Do you really need more cases?
The problem with these cases is that they tend to be oversimplified.
Consultants are not looking for you to regurgitate someone else's
thinking in the form of a framework. It's not a matter of recognizing
this case as a Seven S and this one as a Four P, etc.

The problem with these cases is that they tend to be oversimplified.
Consultants are not looking for you to regurgitate someone else's
thinking in the form of a framework. It's not a matter of recognizing
this case as a Seven S and this one as a Four P, etc.

While I
think this book will help you if you're just not feeling comfortable
with cases, most would be better served going through the cases
prepared by the Consulting Club at your school (or buying the case
book from Wharton's or HBS's Consulting Club). Then spend your time
talking to second years and alumni who either worked for top-tier
consulting firms before school, over the summer, or after
graduation.

The Wet Feet Press... reports are very valuable
for researching companies, and the Ace Your Case book is very good,
but this one was rather redundant.

2.0 out of 5 stars out of date, September 23, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: 15 Questions: More Practice to Help You Ace Your Consulting Case (Insider Guides Series : Company Insider) (Paperback)
While this guide may have once been useful, in my opinion it has
become out of date. In my experience consulting firms have recently
dramatically changed the format of case interview questions and more
recent reflection of the new trends in case interviewing can be better
found...

3.0 out of 5 stars fairly useful, November 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: 15 Questions: More Practice to Help You Ace Your Consulting Case (Insider Guides Series : Company Insider) (Paperback)
This guide is fairly useful though a bit repetitive. Still it is worth a read. Also recommended is the Vault Guide to the Case Interview.

2.0 out of 5 stars below average; better guides available, September 27, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: 15 Questions: More Practice to Help You Ace Your Consulting Case (Insider Guides Series : Company Insider) (Paperback)
In my opinion, this book was not worth my time to read it or my money to buy it. There was very little in depth information on the consulting industry.
