CasesTrain

Practise the assessment before the assessment.

Five timed exercises modelled on the genre of analytical-reasoning tests used in consulting screening. Every run scores what you answered and how you worked, and tells you the one thing to change next time.

Habitat Builder: your food web fills in as you pick species

Five exercises, each its own world

Scenarios are drawn at random, so a second run of the same exercise is a different case.

Habitat Builder35 min

Pick eight species that form a viable food web for the terrain you are dealt.

Two scores, and a next step

Answer keys you can find anywhere. What you cannot see on your own is how you behave under a clock.

Results

Correctness against each exercise's rubric, weighted by how much a question matters. Microbial sites are scored on closeness to the ideal, not just landing inside a range, and the information you see is limited by what you chose to measure.

Process

Derived from what you did during the run:

  • Pacing: finishing with time to check scores best
  • Investigation: opening the sources that matter, saving evidence
  • Methodical navigation and answer stability
  • Visible working on numerical questions

After every run

A picture of the run, the score split, where every point came from, and the single change most likely to lift the next attempt.

Questions

Is this the real test?

No. CasesTrain is independent practice software. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with any consulting firm, recruiter or assessment vendor. Scenarios, data and mechanics are original, built on widely published case-format conventions. No claim is made that it predicts any specific employer's outcome.

What do I need?

A desktop browser and a connection. Nothing to install. Field Study uses drag and drop, which works best with a mouse or trackpad.

Where is my data?

Runs and scores stay in your browser's local storage. Nothing about your practice is sent to a server. The only server call is the licence check at sign-in.

What if I need longer?

Buy another pass. There is nothing to cancel because nothing renews.

Lost your key?

It is on the page you landed on right after paying; that page keeps working. Otherwise reply to your Stripe receipt with the email you paid with and we will send it again.

Refunds?

Email the address on your Stripe receipt within 7 days if the exercises are not what you expected. A refunded key stops working at the next sign-in.
