Cut to the Case vs MConsultingPrep
MConsultingPrep went deep on the newest part of the process: simulations of McKinsey Solve, BCG Casey, and Bain's aptitude tests, each sold as its own product, with free sampler mocks. The sims are real work, and taking a free sampler there costs you nothing.
The economics are the catch. The tests are add-ons around a course, prices surface per product at checkout, and the refund policy runs through fine print: 'partial, or in some specific cases, up to a full refund,' and only if you 'provide specific complaints' within 30 days. Their words. Everything they sell separately is inside Cut to the Case at one price, with a refund policy that fits in one sentence.

THE WHOLE GAME, NOT ONE STAGE
Learn. Drill. Perform.
Prep only works as a loop: the course teaches the game, the gyms drill each skill in isolation, and the cases and simulations make you perform the whole thing under grading. Most of this market sells you one stage and calls it prep.
STAGE 01 · LEARN
Hear the wisdom
12 hours of video from a McKinsey interviewer: business from zero, consulting math, the Interview Dance, behavioral, office strategy.
STAGE 02 · DRILL
Isolate each skill
Math Gym, Chart Lab, Structure Studio, flashcards. One skill at a time, like touches on a training pitch.
STAGE 03 · PERFORM
Play full matches
Six interactive cases graded on an interviewer rubric, plus timed McKinsey, BCG + Bain exam and game simulations.
Like training for match day: study the game, drill the touches, then play full matches until it is automatic. Skip a stage and the gap shows up in the interview, not before.
WHERE MCONSULTINGPREP LEAVES YOU

MCONSULTINGPREP
Course plus three separate sim products plus an AI product, each priced at its own checkout. However it sums, it sums against one $69 line item.
When MConsultingPrep is the better pick
- · You only need one specific firm's test sim and nothing else.
- · You want an extra free mock for Solve or Casey; their samplers are a no-cost second rep.
- · You prefer buying modules one at a time as needs appear.
Fair questions.
Are their simulations better than yours?
Both simulate the real assessments; theirs are standalone products, mine live inside the course with the strategy lessons for each test. Their free samplers are genuinely useful as an extra rep, and nothing stops you from using them alongside this course.
Does the partial-refund language really matter?
Ask yourself under which policy you would rather request your money back: 'partial, or in some specific cases, up to a full refund,' judged against your 'specific complaints,' or 'email us within 30 days, full refund, one email, no forms.'
Isn't modular buying cheaper if I need one thing?
If you truly need one sim and nothing else, yes, buy the one sim, theirs or anyone's. Most candidates need the whole journey, and assembling it from modules almost always crosses $69 before the second module.
Decide with 30 days of cover, not 24 hours.
