Built around real case interviews

Designed by a former Bain consultant. Tested with experienced interviewers.

GradGuide’s consulting experience was developed by Jeff, who spent five years at Bain and interviewed consulting candidates. He designed the case library and scoring approach, then tested the experience and feedback with consultants and interviewers from leading firms.

What consultants say

Feedback from people who know the interview.

Consultants at leading firms have helped test and refine Aurora’s case interview experience.

I practiced cases in university with my mother, a music teacher, so I understand how difficult it can be for candidates who don't have the right network to practice with. GradGuide is what I wish had existed then. The three practice modes help you grow at your own pace, the exhibits and visuals feel realistic for what you can expect in an MBB interview, and the feedback is specific enough to actually improve on. It levels the playing field for candidates. Overall, a genuinely impressive product that I'd recommend to any candidate serious about breaking into consulting.

BiancaConsultant, Bain & Company

GradGuide is a great tool for anyone preparing for consulting interviews. It gives users access to high-quality case practice, clear and structured feedback, and an experience that closely resembles a real MBB interview. It is especially useful for building confidence and understanding where to improve.

ThomasManager, Bain & Company

The voice mode genuinely feels like speaking with a real MBB interviewer, which makes the practice feel much more realistic. The feedback is clear, actionable and easy to apply, and there is plenty of material to keep practicing without it becoming repetitive. Overall, the experience is engaging, challenging and genuinely fun to use.

AntonConsultant, MBB

GradGuide delivers the perfect consulting case practice tool. It challenges you like a true consulting partner would and helps you develop better answers. I would recommend it to anyone that is applying for a job in consulting.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

I’m completely new to case interviews. Can I use GradGuide?

Yes. Start with free Academy lessons to learn the basics, then try your first case in a guided mode. You can move to more realistic interview practice when you feel ready.

What is a mock case interview?

It is a practice interview that follows the structure of a real consulting case. Aurora presents a business problem, asks questions, introduces exhibits and challenges your answers before giving you detailed feedback.

Can I use GradGuide for case study interview prep?

Yes. Our case interview practice helps you approach unfamiliar business problems, work with data, explain your reasoning and make clear recommendations.

Can I practice case interview math?

Yes. Academy lessons and targeted drills help you build quantitative skills, while full cases give you a chance to apply those skills under interview-style conditions.

How is the feedback personalized?

Aurora assesses what you actually said or did. After a case, you see feedback across five core skills, examples of where your answer could improve and guidance on what to practice next.

Can I practice by speaking?

Yes. You can complete case interviews in voice or text. Speaking helps you practice communicating your structure, calculations and recommendations out loud.

Can GradGuide help me with my consulting CV and cover letter?

Yes. You can use GradGuide for feedback on your consulting CV and cover letter, including how clearly you communicate your experience, achievements and motivation.

How is this different from practicing with a case partner?

A case partner can be valuable. Aurora gives you an additional way to practice whenever it suits you, with structured feedback after every case. The two approaches complement each other.

Does a GradGuide score predict whether I will pass a real interview?

No. Your score reflects performance against GradGuide’s practice rubric. Real interview outcomes depend on the firm, interviewer, case and your performance on the day.

Can I start for free?

Yes. You can try a full case interview and explore selected Academy lessons for free. Check the pricing section for current paid options and what each includes.

Is GradGuide affiliated with Bain, McKinsey or BCG?

No. GradGuide is an independent product. Its consulting experience was developed by a former Bain consultant and tested with consultants and interviewers from leading firms, but it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by those firms.

Can a university or consulting club purchase group access?

Yes. We offer group access for universities, career services and consulting clubs. Contact us to discuss access, onboarding and reporting.
