PointFive was built by a team of former BCG consultants who got tired of watching talented, hard-working candidates miss out — not because they weren't good enough, but because they spent months preparing for things that simply don't matter in the room.
The consulting prep industry is bloated. There are thousands of practice cases, framework after framework, and textbooks that take months to get through. We've watched brilliant graduates exhaust themselves on content that will never appear in their interviews — memorising obscure market-sizing templates, grinding cases that bear no resemblance to what McKinsey or BCG actually serve up today.
The result? Candidates who've put in the hours but still can't structure a problem cleanly under pressure. They arrive in the room well-read and completely unprepared. It's not a talent problem. It's a preparation problem.
We've sat on both sides of that table. We know what strong looks like when it walks in, and we know exactly what signals send a candidate straight to the reject pile — regardless of their pedigree. That insight is the foundation everything at PointFive is built on.
We distilled years of first-hand experience — both as consultants and as interviewers — into one focused, disciplined system. Every case, every module, and every drill on PointFive exists for a specific reason. If it doesn't move you closer to an offer, it's not here.
This isn't about volume. It's about precision. The candidates who get McKinsey offers don't study more than everyone else. They study the right things, in the right order, with the right feedback loops. PointFive gives you that structure — from your first practice case to your final round.
We built the platform we wish had existed when we were preparing. Targeted. Honest. Built by people who know the difference.
63 curated cases that mirror real MBB interview conditions — not 500 cases padded to justify a price tag.
A personalised learning path means you work on your highest-leverage gaps first — not whatever comes next in a generic course.
Every framework, case, and scoring rubric was designed by people who have actually made hiring decisions at a top-tier firm.
Buy in once, benefit forever. Every new case, module, and feature we ship goes straight to your account — no upgrade fees, ever.
Built by someone who has sat on both sides of the table — and helped countless candidates make the leap.
