In this case, you will be advising LearnX, an educational software company, as it explores the potential expansion into a new market category.

The case is inspired by a current McKinsey challenge and is a “classic” Market Entry case. The industry context is relatable and intuitive, making it easy for many candidates to engage naturally with the case.

This case is suitable for candidates at all experience levels, though those in the early stages of preparation may experience slightly higher learning outcomes than more experienced candidates. The math intensity is on the lower end of the spectrum.

The case materials include question solutions and frameworks, best practice audio answers from other candidates, detailed interviewer guidance for mock practices, and interviewer recordings for self-practice.

Enjoy the case, and good luck!

Upcoming MBB Interview and Nervous About Your Math Performance?

You’re not alone. The math portion of consulting interviews at McKinsey, BCG, and Bain is where even strong candidates often stumble — not because they lack intelligence, but because they’re unprepared for the difficulty level, and the speed and precision of the top candidates they’re up against.

In these interviews, you’ll be expected to handle all types of logic-driven quantitative challenges — from the classics to the unconventional questions. All without a calculator. All under tight time pressure.

That’s what the McKinsey Math Marathon is built for — to give you a realistic environment where you can sharpen your math skills and test how truly interview-ready you are.

What You’ll Get

✔️ Challenging, consulting-style math problems based on actual McKinsey interviews
✔️ Timed rounds to simulate real interview pressure
✔️ A competitive environment to benchmark your skills
✔️ Insights into your blind spots

Whether you’re days or weeks away from your interview, this is your chance to practice, prepare, and perform — before it really counts.

Bring pen and paper.

Good luck!
