Practice case studies

Practice may not make perfect, but you're welcome to try

We’ve made practice tests available, so you won’t have any surprises down the road. We’ve also supplied data that frame the logic and thought processes behind the answers, which should be helpful as you plan for the actual experience.

You’ll also find a guide for working your way through the tests, but we encourage you not to over-prepare. We’re not looking for candidates who have over-studied and walk into the interview armed with buzzwords, frameworks, and acronyms. Just learn what to expect and then go off and relax beforehand.
