The consulting interview process
- Online assessments. Game-based or digital tests such as McKinsey Solve or BCG Casey, plus video screens. These are timed and proctored, and an interview copilot is not the right tool for them; practise with the official samples.
- First-round cases. Interviewer-led or candidate-led cases on market sizing, profitability, market entry, pricing or M&A.
- Final rounds. Ambiguous partner cases with sharper pushback, plus deep fit interviews.
What to look for in a consulting assistant
| Need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Structured, MECE answers | A clean issue tree is the first thing interviewers judge. |
| Help with exhibits | Charts and tables arrive on screen mid-case. |
| Quick, checkable maths | Market sizing and break-even arithmetic must be right and said aloud. |
| Your own stories | Fit answers have to survive "and what did you personally do?" |
| Speed | Case dialogue moves fast; a long silence is noticeable. |
How Solvro helps in a case
Structuring. Interview mode hears the case prompt and returns a structured approach. Use custom instructions to make it think like a consultant, for example: "Start with a one-line hypothesis. Then a MECE structure of three to four branches, each with two questions to test. No more than 60 words."
Exhibits. When a chart or table is shared, capture it with CtrlShiftS and ask in Query mode: "What are the two most important insights, and what should I ask next?"
Maths. Ask for the calculation as steps with stated assumptions, then do the arithmetic aloud yourself. Interviewers grade the reasoning as much as the number.
Depth. For a hard strategy or M&A case, switch to Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 with CtrlShiftM.
Fit questions. Add your resume and three or four stories as extra context: leadership, impact, conflict, a setback. Interview mode builds STAR answers from them, so follow-up questions have real detail to draw on.
Comparing assistants for consulting
| Assistant | Strength for consultants | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Solvro | Structured answers shaped by your instructions; exhibit analysis from screenshots; stories from your resume | English interviews only; no mock-case mode |
| LockedIn AI | Real-time coaching and post-call scoring | Slower transcription can leave silences; expensive at the top tier |
| Final Round AI | Large bank of company-specific behavioural questions | Little consulting-framework customisation; $148 a month on monthly billing |
| Beyz AI | Easy setup, multi-language transcription | Accuracy drops on multi-step quantitative work; tab-based |
| Interview Sidekick | A large question bank and post-call summaries | Lag reported; tab-based |
| Google Interview Warmup | Free practice for speaking pace | Retired in 2026; no case logic |
A case prep routine with Solvro
- Context: add your resume, the firm and office in the job description, and your fit stories as extra context.
- Instructions: write the structure you want answers in (hypothesis first, MECE branches, next questions).
- Practice cases: run cases from a casebook with a friend as interviewer; use Solvro's structure as a check on your own, not as a script.
- Exhibits: practise reading charts by capturing them and comparing Solvro's insights with yours.
- On the day: start Interview mode before the video call, and keep the window faded near your camera.

Check the rules first
Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Solvro's Interview mode returns a structured approach to the case prompt, Query mode analyses exhibits you capture, and custom instructions make answers hypothesis-driven and MECE.
No. Those are proctored, game-based assessments; practise with the firms' official samples instead. Solvro is built for live conversations and on-screen questions.
Add your resume and three or four specific stories as extra context in Settings. Interview mode builds STAR answers from them.
Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 reason most deeply; the Gemini models are fastest. Switch with Ctrl Shift M.
