Alvarez & Marsal Case Interview Practice: Free Case and Prep Resources

Start with what A&M says: its early careers FAQ describes behavioral-based interviews about projects you took part in, led or started, and a case study, business plan or technical assessment for some roles. So prepare in that order: two or three project stories with numbers, then the exercise your role uses, which your recruiter can name. For the case side, turnaround and cost problems fit A&M's work best: a free account on Road to Offer includes 1 full AI-graded case, such as MetroFresh Distribution Center Operations Turnaround, our general library case on service and cost; Bramblewood Garden Centers (a turnaround) is a worked case with a model answer for every question and needs no account; math and chart drills cover the numbers. Firm-style cases are practice cases written for Road to Offer or adapted from university consulting club casebooks, not the firm's own cases.

On Road to Offer, the sample case on this page runs in your browser with no account: a distribution turnaround where service fell and cost rose. Then MetroFresh Distribution Center Operations Turnaround is a library case you run out loud with an AI interviewer; your first full case is free with a free account, no card. Bramblewood Garden Centers and Halvering Valley Hospital are free to read with a model answer for every question, no account. A&M itself publishes no practice case that we found, so none of these are A&M's own material.

Not that we could find. A&M's early careers FAQ describes its interview process in words, and its Transaction Advisory Group campus page lists the stages, but neither gives a practice case, a test, a tool or a preparation guide. That is why Road to Offer's A&M practice cases page works original cases in the kind of work A&M does; none is A&M material. Read on 11 November 2026; A&M can add a resource later.

Partly, and it depends on the role. A&M says its interviews use behavioral-based techniques and that, depending on the role, you could be asked to complete a case study, a business plan or a technical assessment. Candidates report a case in most rounds for consulting practices, finance-heavy and tied to the practice: liquidity for restructuring, EBITDA for private equity performance improvement, quality of earnings for transaction advisory. Ask your Talent contact which one your role uses.

A&M says it wants to hear about previous projects you took part in, led or started, and the interviews use behavioral-based techniques. Prepare a handful of projects with your exact role, the decision you made, a number and what you would change; expect follow-ups such as why you chose that path. Road to Offer's A&M fit practice asks questions of that kind with follow-up probes, 1 session free with an account.

For some roles. A&M says you could be asked to complete a technical assessment, a case study or a business plan depending on the role, and does not say what the assessment covers. Candidates report a timed financial modeling test for restructuring and private equity performance improvement roles, sometimes a 13-week cash flow model, which A&M's pages do not confirm. Ask your recruiter what yours covers and how long you get.

A&M says the number of interviews varies by role. Its Transaction Advisory Group describes four steps: apply, application review, initial virtual interviews, then final in-person interviews for those selected. Candidates report two to three rounds, a first round of two or three interviews and a final round with directors or partners, but A&M's pages do not publish that, so treat it as a typical path and not a promise.

A&M's pages don't say, and candidate reports differ: some describe candidate-led cases where you structure the problem and ask for data, one describes an interviewer-led case sent in advance. Practise opening with your own structure, and also answering one directed question at a time with a number.

A&M says early career recruiting happens year-round and that most interviews are held in the fall of junior or senior year, though some teams also recruit in spring; it encourages students to start connecting as early as freshman or sophomore year. In some regions in Europe and Asia it seeks interns, working students and school leavers throughout the year.

A&M's early careers FAQ names an entrepreneurial spirit, strong critical thinking and a commitment to lifelong learning, hired from diverse backgrounds, majors and universities. Its advanced degree page adds a data-driven mindset and relationship building, and its undergraduate page adds a proactive approach. Back each with a project you can describe in numbers.

A&M says its internships typically last eight to ten weeks, most begin in early June and end in mid-August, and all internships are paid. Some regions, such as Europe, offer internships all year, lasting up to four months. It describes its internship audience as rising juniors and seniors, including students in master's programs.

A&M doesn't say they differ. It says it hires Associate and Manager roles through campus recruiting, with Manager-level roles suited to MBA students and Associate roles to undergraduates or select master's students. Expect the same behavioral-based format with a deeper project to discuss at the Manager level, and ask your recruiter about any case or assessment.
