Exhibit Interpretation Course by StrategyCase.com
Turn Any Case Exhibit Into an Insight
Exhibit Interpretation & Data Analysis is a self-paced course that teaches you to read any case chart or data table fast, find the insight that matters for the client, and say what it means for the next step: 17 video lessons (2.5 hours) and 50 realistic exhibit drills with sample answers.
I built it on what I learned during 5 years at McKinsey and in 2,200+ mock interviews and coaching sessions since 2020.
From verified buyers
What Buyers Report From Their Interviews
McKinsey and Bain
“I have never seen such well-done and realistic diagrams and table examples. The style and difficulty were 1 to 1 like in my McKinsey and Bain interview.”
From a 7 to a 9
“After completing the 20 exercises, it feels like my exhibit interpretation skills have improved from a 7 to a solid 9! The exhibits closely match the ones you should expect at MBB interviews, and are much more realistic compared to the ones you see elsewhere (even in paid resources).”
The method
“The insights, implications, and next steps method for charts is a great tool to really figure out what’s happening with the data.”
The problem with charts
Why Candidates Lose Points on Charts
The course puts it in three levels: good candidates spot things on the chart, better candidates interpret them in the context of the case, and great candidates put it together and drive the case forward. Most candidates stop at the first level, because nobody taught them the other two.
You describe the chart instead of interpreting it
The 3 pieces of the exhibit puzzle: the insight, the implication for the client, and the next step
You don’t know where to look first, and the clock runs
The 4-step process, the main exhibit types, and the findings to look out for
You miss the twist: a unit, a footnote, a hidden detail
Findings and data to look out for, plus common mistakes and pitfalls
You find the insight but can’t say it clearly
Bulletproof communication: top-down, in two or three sentences
A data-heavy case overwhelms you
A bonus lesson on data-heavy cases, and what to do when you get stuck

Reviews
4.8 Out of 5
“Luckily, the course starts with a primer on a step-by-step chart interpretatin approach. In addition, the solutions for the drills include great explanations, which makes it easy to understand and increases the learning effect. I felt super prepared with this for the chart part of the case!!!”
“the ones provided are exactly like in the interviews (including a case prompt and back story that allows you to interpret them in the context of the case)”
“Great add-on for case practice if you have never dealt with charts before. A very clear and concise approach to understand charts and interpret data quickly.”
“Really great exercise samples with very good descriptions. Challenging and realistic MBB-type charts. Support was great and almost instant!”
“A reliable method to get into the nitty-gritty of exhibits, with valuable insights into what to consider including twists and uncovering hidden information.”
“More practice examples would make it even better but I have not found such great charts to practice anywhere so I guess it takes a lot of time to create this and the price is fair for what you get.”

Superb!
Well drafter content from an experienced consultant and interview coach!
An excellent course on the fundamentals of chart analysis for cases. A reliable method to get into the nitty-gritty of exhibits, with valuable insights into what to consider including twists and uncovering hidden information.
really helpful
These charts and exhibits are unparalleled in the market. and Florian’s method of how you should approach these exhibits is excellent and unique. If you look around you will find no match to these exhibits types/insights as practice materials. they will develop your buisness sense, and make you ready to tackle any exhibit you can encounter. I highly recommend buying these drills. No casebooks or other materials are as exhaustive as these materials.
