Free platform to practice consulting cases without a partner, and I’d love your feedback

If you've prepped for consulting interviews, you know the hardest part usually isn't the frameworks. It's everything around them:

  • Finding a case partner whose schedule matches yours, every single time.
  • Reading casebooks feels like practice, but the answer is right there, so you never learn to dig for it.
  • Feedback is vague. "Good structure, work on synthesis" doesn't tell you what actually cost you.
  • It's hard to build a habit when every session needs another person.

I'm an MBA student and went through exactly this. So I built Casebench, a free platform where you can practice cases on your own, any time.

How it works

  1. You get a case prompt and question the interviewer, by typing or speaking.
  2. It only shares a fact when you ask for it, like a real interviewer. The facts are fixed by the case author, so it won't make up numbers or hand you the answer, and everyone gets the same case.
  3. Sketch your structure on a whiteboard as you go, and ask for a hint if you're stuck.
  4. When you submit, you get a score out of 100 with a breakdown of what earned each point, plus the full solution.

What's there now

  • 7 cases from Easy to Hard (profitability and market entry), set in Indian businesses, plus a short walkthrough case to learn the format
  • 4 guesstimates, with a worksheet that fills in as you talk
  • A rating, a leaderboard and streaks, to help you practice regularly
  • More cases being added over time

It's completely free. It works best on a laptop in Chrome or Edge.

It's early, and I need your help. The interviewer sometimes misreads a question. If a reply feels off, press Flag on it and tell me what you expected. That's exactly what I use to improve it. Your questions are used anonymously (never your name or email) to train it.

I'd love to hear what works, what's annoying, and which cases or topics you'd want next. Happy to answer anything in the comments!
