Case interview preparation is not only essential for acing a consulting interview. It is also an exercise which trains you rigorously to approach a problem and analyze it in a systematic, yet creative, way.

There are a few major types of case interview questions such as market size, business operations, competitive landscape, governmental issues, and brain teasers. Business schools will teach you some popular frameworks to solving these questions. One of them is the famous Porter's Five Forces.

Case interviews test candidates' ability to think fast and creatively under pressure and with limited time, the efficiency, effectiveness, breadth and depth of their thought process, and their communication abilities and general knowledge. Being a great listener is equally important to being a good speaker. Without grasping all the underlying messages of a question, it is impossible to provide great solutions. Getting the right answer is not the only way to score. The importance of demonstrating your thoroughness and creativeness during the interview process cannot be understated.
