The World’s #1 Selling Online Course for Quantitative Case Interview Preparation

Matthew TambiahHello! My name is Matthew Tambiah and I’m the creator of the FastMathAce the Case Online Course. I’m a former McKinsey consultant and a graduate of both Harvard and MIT, and I created this online course to teach you the quantitative and mental calculation skills you need to succeed in management consulting-style Case Interviews.

In this course you will learn a comprehensive set of calculation methods designed specifically to enable you to perform Case Interview calculations quickly and easily, along with the most efficient solution method to the most important quantitative Case Interview problem types.

Not only do aspiring management consultants need to be prepared for Case Interviews, but so do candidates for many other job functions such as Product Management, Marketing, General Management, Private Equity, and Brand Management, at firms like Google, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, Proctor & Gamble, and many others.

FastMath Ace the Case is unique among quantitative Case Interview preparation resources because it uses on-demand video lessons to teach efficient calculation and problem solving methods — instead of simply providing practice problems and answers. Furthermore, all the calculation methods and examples are based on questions and the specific numbers used in actual Case Interview calculations.

After learning the course material, candidates will dramatically increase their calculation speed and efficiency, and be well prepared for a wide range of quantitative Case Interviews questions.

Thousands of students from leading universities worldwide, like Wharton, Harvard Business School, Stanford, MIT, Kellogg, London Business School, INSEAD, and many more, have used the FastMath Ace the Case methods and techniques to join elite management consulting firms like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC, and other leading firms like Google, Proctor and Gamble, and Wells Fargo.

Why Quant Skills Are Important in Case Interviews

Case Interviews require candidates to perform mathematical and quantitative analysis, interpret results, and develop insights and recommendations — all without using a calculator or spreadsheet, which many people find very challenging and/or intimidating. The pressure is further compounded by the fact that,as your quant evaluation is a critical factor in your overall evaluation as a candidate, a high-paying job and your future career are at stake — so performing poorly can sink your chances of receiving an offer.

Management consulting firms assess the quant skills of candidates because — as clients hire management consultants primarily to provide recommendations based on objective quantitative data and analysis — effective management consultants need strong quantitative skills. A firm’s assessment of your quant skills carries strong weight in its hiring decision — the quant assessment typically contributes 20–25% of the overall candidate evaluation. Many firms do have a minimum bar for quant skills and you are unlikely to receive an offer if your performance is under that bar. One great way to distinguish yourself from other candidates is to demonstrate outstanding quantitative skills.

 

Preparing for the Quantitative Component of Case Interviews

Read this article for more detail on why management consulting firms assess quantitative skills, what specific quant skills they assess, and how to prepare for the quant component of Case Interviews.

My Background

While many people are nervous about the quant component of Case Interviews, math has always come naturally to me. I always excelled in math — starting in elementary school, and continuing through college at Harvard (where I graduated with Highest Honors in Electrical and Computer Engineering) and graduate school at MIT. In this online course, I will teach you the quantitative and mental calculation methods I personally used to successfully navigate the McKinsey Case Interview process. I have used similar methods throughout my academic career, and they enabled me to earn top scores on standardized tests such as the SAT and the GMAT, and to excel academically at both Harvard and MIT.

Course Overview

In the FastMath Ace the Case Online Course, I use on-demand video instruction to teach calculation and problem-solving methods designed specifically to quickly solve quantitative problems required in Case Interviews at elite management consulting firms like McKinsey, Bain and BCG, and other firms that use Case Interviews. The FastMath Ace the Case

In the first component, you will learn a set of FastMath calculation methods designed specifically to simplify nearly all calculations required in Case Interviews (Case Calculations). These FastMath calculation methods will enable you to perform Case Calculations faster, more efficiently, and reduce your calculation errors, without using a calculator — as required in Case Interviews. The FastMath calculation methods can be used to efficiently perform calculations done both pure-mentally, and with pen and paper.

In the second component, I’ll show you how to apply the FastMath calculation methods to the most important, and most frequently encountered, types of quantitative problems given in Case Interviews. I provide a detailed explanation of the most efficient solution method(s) for over 15 distinct Case interview quantitative problem types, and demonstrate how to use the FastMath calculation methods to calculate answers quickly and efficiently. I will also highlight how to use the numerical results to develop Case-specific insights and recommendations. I’ll provide you with numerous full Case Interview example quant problems with detailed solution methods, and provide a comprehensive set of practice problems with detailed solution methods that reinforce the course material.

The Consulting Clubs at numerous leading MBA programs recommend FastMath Ace the Case to their members for quantitative Case Interview preparation. Thousands of students from leading universities worldwide, like Wharton, Harvard Business School, Stanford, MIT, Kellogg, London Business School, INSEAD, and many more, have used the FastMath Ace the Case methods and techniques to join elite management consulting firms like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC, and other leading firms like Google, Proctor and Gamble, and Wells Fargo.

Course Differentiators

The FastMath Ace the Case Online Course is different from other quantitative interview-preparation resources because I use on-demand video lessons to teach you how to do Case Calculations faster and more efficiently. Most other quantitative interview-prep resources simply provide practice problems and answers — without teaching methods to efficiently perform the calculations without a calculator.

Furthermore, all the calculation methods in this course are designed specifically for the types of calculations you will actually encounter in a Case Interview, and all the example problems are based on problems given in actual Case Interviews at elite Management Consulting firms. I also cover efficient solution methods to a wide variety of the most common types of quant Case Interview problems. Many other quant interview-prep resources use examples that don’t reflect actual Case Interview problems and don’t cover the full range of calculation types and problem types that I cover in FastMath Ace the Case.

For example, most numbers used in Case Interviews (what I call Case Numbers) are either “round” numbers like 2,000,000 or have specific characteristics you can use to simplify calculations with those numbers — if you know the proper methods! In the FastMath Ace the Case Online Course, I focus on teaching efficient methods for doing the calculations in Case Interviews with actual Case Numbers.
