In a PrepLounge meeting, you and your interview partner simulate an interview from the consulting or finance sector. Everything takes place in our virtual meeting room. In the first round, you take on either the role of the candidate or the interviewer – then you switch roles. A meeting typically lasts 90 minutes, with 45 minutes per role. At the end, you give each other feedback and learn together.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
We are happy to answer the most frequently asked questions.
Everyone! It doesn’t matter if you’re just getting started or already solved some interviews – mock interviews on PrepLounge are for everyone. Many other users are also beginners and still have a lot to learn, just like you.
You don’t need any prior experience for your first meeting. It’s totally fine if you’ve never solved a case before. Many users start exactly where you are and use PrepLounge to get familiar with the interview process. So don’t worry – you’re definitely not alone. What matters most is that you’re motivated to improve and that you’ve taken some time to understand the basic structure of case interviews. Everything else comes with practice – so go for it!
Here are a few tips: Get familiar with how case interviews work in general, read our Case Interview Basics, and try working through a few cases in our Case Library. This will help you get a better feel for the process. As an interviewer, it’s a good idea to read through the case beforehand so you’re well-prepared and can guide your partner effectively. Also, think about what you want to focus on during the session – the clearer your goal, the more you’ll benefit.
At the start of your meeting, two cases from the Case Library will be suggested. After that, you’re free to choose from over 200 different cases that you and your partner can work on together. You’ll also see which cases you’ve both already done. Of course, you can bring your own case as well!
No, that’s not required! You’re welcome to keep your camera off if that’s what you’re more comfortable with. That said, most users do turn on their camera to simulate the real interview setting as closely as possible.
The most important thing is to align with your partner beforehand so that everything goes smoothly.
Don’t worry – that’s totally okay! Feeling nervous and making mistakes is part of the learning process. That’s exactly what mock interviews are for. Your interview partner is probably just as nervous or has already been through the same phase. See mistakes as valuable learning opportunities that will help you get better.
That depends on a few factors – your background, how quickly you improve, and who you practice with. But to give you a rough idea, here’s a tip from one of our experts: “Most candidates I’ve helped land top-tier jobs reached a solid level after around 30 mock interviews of 45 minutes each with experienced partners.”
On your home screen, you’ll find your pending invitations and scheduled meetings. To reschedule, click the clock icon and choose a new time in the pop-up window. To cancel an invitation or meeting, just click the X icon – it’s super easy! Please try to cancel as early as possible and let your partner know in good time. If you cancel less than one hour before the meeting or don’t show up, your reliability score may be affected.
Being reliable is super important on PrepLounge – not just for your own progress, but also out of respect for your interview partner’s time. If you can’t make it to a meeting, please cancel or reschedule at least one hour in advance.
If you don’t show up or cancel too late, your partner can report the session as a No-Show or Short-Term Cancellation. These reports affect your reliability score, which reflects how dependable you are as a practice partner. If your reliability drops below 66%, your account will be temporarily blocked from scheduling new meetings.
We want PrepLounge to be a space with active and committed users. That’s the only way we can ensure a great experience for everyone.
