I'm not an MBA and found it confusing and overwhelming. They assume a certain level of knowledge and only offer cookie-cutter frameworks. I found the book Case in Point to be much clearer and more informative. It's Ivy Case Method makes thinking and structuring the cases much easier.

Hi,
I have used this book among others to get accepted to McKinsey (and with success) and I think this book gave me less then others.
The advantages are the more or less detailed frameworks chapter and the real-life interviews chapter, but the cases themselves are rather superficial and sometimes even obviously ridiculous(like for example the case in which a Star-Trek like omnipotent people transporter has been invented, and the book claims that it wouldn't replace cars because it costs 100,000$. Come on, they would buy one for every block).
I think there are much better resources than this.

Good luck with your interviews!

would recommend this book to everyone.I found it helpful.read this book before you read "case in point" by Marc P.Cosentino.
