For candidates starting McKinsey, BCG or Bain recruiting this season

$5Books for life · timed tests for 7 days · one-time payment
7-day money-back guarantee, even if you have used it. Refund policy
Why $5? Bought one by one, the 9 books are $441 ($49 each). We put the whole shelf and 3 timed tests into a $5 starter kit so you can see how we teach before you ever buy a full plan — and your $5 comes off any full plan within 7 days.
Best forYou are starting consulting recruiting and want the whole season on paper before you pay for a full plan.
01The problem
Walking into recruiting without a map of the year or the rules of each online test isn't a lack of preparation — the firms publish almost nothing about how the whole season fits together.
02The fix
Start with The Recruiting Calendar to map your months, open the book for the exact stage you are in right now, and pair the three online-test field guides (Books 5, 6 and 7) with a real timed run on DrillCase.

1
Solve-style Redrock study, timed, for 7 days. Plus the book McKinsey Solve: Field Guide.
BCG Casey
1
Casey-style chatbot case, timed, for 7 days. Plus the book BCG Casey: Field Guide.
