case study preplounge

Has anyone here used preplounge.com for case interview prep?

I did the 6-week premium. i think it was super helpful. great for someone just starting into casing. finding the people are what really matters. the cases were average at best, but you might as well waste a few meh cases earlier on and save the good case books for when you know what to do., i did. the main benefit was finding people to practice with and i think that alone made it worth it. they also have sample cases and other prep materials which are meh.

I don’t recall tbh. Go with whatever gets you access to practice partners

I used it after getting dinged for MBB and spent months doing the full bootcamp and mock cases with people from all over the world. I got into MBB in the end and this was the main resource I used. I sent all my friends an invite to get a couple of free weeks and then paid for premium. 100% worth it IMO!
