Deloitte Case Interview Prep 2026: Ten Unlisted Cases

Where Deloitte keeps the cases it wrote for you

The live tool sits at usrecruiting.deloitte.com/case-prep-tool. Deloitte links it from its case and scenario interview tips page. That link is the only dependable way in.

There are two tools, and Deloitte separates them by the job you applied for. The case tool is for entry-level Consultative Offerings roles. The scenario tool is for entry-level Audit and Assurance roles. Consultative Offerings is the name Deloitte US gives its consulting side. Open the wrong one and you are practicing for someone else's interview.

Ten cases open. This is the full set:

Three further titles appear in the tool's filter menus and lead nowhere. We tested each address. They return 404, so we count ten.

Deloitte is direct about what the tool is not. Its own wording: "This is not an assessment and we do not track your responses or results." Each case is quoted at 15 to 20 minutes. Nothing you type is stored, scored, or attached to your file.

The five steps Deloitte prints, and what each one buys

Deloitte's tips page gives a five-step approach and names all five. Understand the issue. Identify the underlying assumptions. Summarize specific issues and findings. State your recommendations. Outline next steps and expected results or impacts.

The firm is equally clear that the answer is not the prize. In its words, you are "not expected to provide the 'right' answer, but rather to clearly convey your logic and thought process."

Eight more tips sit under those steps. One is sharper than the rest. Deloitte writes: "Ask questions, but don't use them as a crutch. While it's important to ask clarifying questions, avoid relying on them too heavily. We're interested in how you connect the dots when solving the problem." Clarifying questions are welcome. Hiding behind them is noticed.

Recreation Unlimited, where profit is half of contribution

Recreation Unlimited is the most complete of the ten. It is a global apparel and sportswear company, founded in 1952 in the United Kingdom, with $11 billion in revenue, 32,800 staff and 200 owned stores. Online sales are 5% of the total against an industry average of 10%. Turnover among younger staff is high, satisfaction is falling, the organization is described as very hierarchical, and training spend stopped years ago.

The brief is specific: Deloitte has been engaged to reach "an aggressive +40% annual growth in direct-to-consumer digital channels over the next five years", with organizational factors included in the answer.

Five questions follow. The fourth is the only one with arithmetic, and the numbers are all published. Improving the website costs $10M once. Each visitor is then expected to spend $1 more. The margin on anything bought there is 50%. The site gets 20M visits a year.

Work it in the open, the way you would out loud:

1. Incremental revenue. 20M visitors times $1 is $20M a year.
2. Incremental profit. Half of $20M is $10M a year.
3. Against the cost. The build costs $10M once. Profit covers it inside the first year.
4. The call. Do it, and say why in one sentence: the investment pays back in about a year and keeps paying after that.

Deloitte's own note on this question separates the two figures by name. Contribution is the cash from the extra spending. Profit is that figure after margin. Quote the wrong one and the recommendation is wrong by a factor of two.

Question five then asks for the people and organizational consequences. That is where the hierarchy, the turnover and the dead training budget from the brief come back. A candidate who treated those facts as scene setting has nothing to say.

Deloitte Consulting and Monitor Deloitte share one pipeline

This one is easy to get wrong, so it is worth being exact. Monitor Deloitte is not a separate firm. Deloitte's global Monitor Deloitte page describes its "strategy practitioners", and the page itself is filed inside the consulting services section of the site. In the United States the same page is served under the title Monitor Deloitte US Business Strategy.

So Monitor Deloitte is the brand on Deloitte Consulting's strategy practice. The practice cases reflect that. Three of the ten sit under Strategy and one under Enterprise Tech Strategy, all inside the same Consultative Offerings tool. Deloitte does not run a separate Monitor prep tool, and no careers page we read describes a separate Monitor process.

What does change is the work the case describes. The Strategy cases in the tool ask corporate questions: should this client enter a market, what does this agency do with its finances. The Enterprise Tech Strategy and Cyber cases ask about systems, incidents and delivery. If you are aiming at strategy, the four strategy-flavored cases are your set, and the other six are useful practice on a different muscle.

We keep a separate page on Monitor Deloitte because candidates search for it by name. That is a search habit. No page we read describes a second recruiting pipeline behind the name, so preparing for one prepares you for the other.

One layer sits above both of them and decides who signs your offer. Deloitte reports four businesses and none of them is called Consulting, and the US entity that contracts strategy work is Deloitte Consulting LLP rather than the global network. How the firm is built, what it reports and what it withholds are on Deloitte strategy consulting.

Deloitte's British route has no case interview in it

This is the largest gap between the general picture of Deloitte interviewing and what Deloitte publishes for Britain. Its early careers assessment page states that the process is the same whatever programme you applied for, then lists four stages. None of them is a case interview.

The detail matters. The online assessment has no overall time limit, though Deloitte recommends one sitting, and some questions are timed so that speed contributes to the score. The final stage has two parts with stated lengths: a two-way discussion of about 30 to 40 minutes on a topic you research beforehand, and an interview of about 50 minutes. Deloitte requires that topic preparation in advance and says so.

Academic bars are published too. A 2:1 or better for graduate and work experience programmes. 104 UCAS points from the top three A-Levels for BrightStart. You may submit one application per intake year.

One more line from that page is worth repeating, because it is about pages like this one. Deloitte writes that websites selling assessment insights "are not endorsed by Deloitte and often provide misleading or false information", and that it will never charge for assessment advice. Everything on this page about Deloitte's process came from Deloitte's own free pages, and the links are above so you can check. The one thing here that is not Deloitte's is our scoring rubric, which is labeled as ours where it appears.

What the American process actually commits to

Deloitte's US recruiting tips page is short on promises but does make a few. Three are worth planning around.

If you are selected, a recruiter contacts you to schedule a first interview "usually within one to two weeks". You should "expect two to three rounds of interviews, via either telephone, video, or in person". And if an offer comes, you will "likely have it in writing within one week of your final interview".

Then the sentence that governs everything else. You "may go through a mix of behavioral, technical, and case-based interviews, depending on the role". Case-based is one item in a list of three, and the whole list is conditional. Deloitte does not say how many cases you get, or whether you get one at all.

Two to three rounds is what the firm publishes. The invitation you receive is the only document that names yours.

There is no American equivalent of the British online assessment on any page we read. That is an absence of evidence rather than evidence of absence, and we are not going to claim Deloitte US has no test. What we can say is that Deloitte publishes one for the United Kingdom in detail and publishes nothing of the kind for the United States.

Australia and New Zealand split the advice by level

The Australian careers blog on preparing for a case study interview does something no other Deloitte page does. It gives different advice depending on the seniority you applied at, in print.

For analyst and consultant levels, it asks you to "apply your commercial awareness with a basic understanding of key business concepts, such as revenue, profit, market share, customers, competitors, and stakeholders". For senior analyst and above, it asks you to "suggest data you need to prove or disprove any hypothesis you develop to support your recommendations".

Read those two together and you have the actual step up between the levels. The junior bar is fluency with the plumbing of a business. The senior bar is knowing what evidence would settle the question you just raised. That second habit is cheap to build, and Deloitte itself reserves it for the senior bar, which is why offering it early reads as strong.

The same page says the case may be resolved "verbally, in writing, or both", which is worth knowing before you arrive expecting a conversation. It also says the verbal version is meant to be conversational, and recommends broad, open questions. The New Zealand page repeats the same six points with an added section on knowing the firm.

Australia's hiring process page is blunter still: a case study or practical assessment applies "for selected positions". Nothing is guaranteed.

What a rubric adds to Deloitte's five steps

Deloitte publishes steps and publishes no weights. No page we read gives a score, a threshold or a dimension, and that holds for every firm we have checked. Our own grader does give weights, and the ones below are read straight from the code that runs it, out of a hundred.

Where Deloitte candidates lose it

1. Never finding the cases. Ten of them are free and the tool is a click from the tips page. Search will not take you there, because the page is noindexed and the old address is dead.
2. Opening the scenario tool. It is for Audit and Assurance. Consulting candidates want the case tool.
3. Preparing an American process for a British one, or the reverse. The UK early careers route has four stages and no case. The US route has two to three interview rounds and may include one.
4. Arriving at the British final stage without the topic work. Deloitte calls that preparation mandatory and it is the first of two exercises.
5. Using clarifying questions as cover. Deloitte names this exact failure and calls it a crutch.
6. Quoting contribution when the question wants profit. Recreation Unlimited splits the two on purpose. So do real cases.
7. Treating the soft facts as background. The turnover, the hierarchy and the frozen training budget are there because question five needs them.
8. Recapping before recommending. Answer first carries 35 of 100 on our synthesis rubric.
9. Expecting a spoken case everywhere. The Australian page says a case may be written, spoken, or both.

The first five are specific to how Deloitte runs and disappear once you read the firm's own pages. The last four show up at every firm, which is why a diagnosis beats more firm-specific reading once the rules are known.

A Deloitte case interview prep order built only on what it publishes

No fixed calendar. The right length depends on which dimension you keep losing, and nobody can set that for you before you have lost one.

1. Read the invitation first. It names your country's process, which decides whether you are preparing a case at all.
2. Diagnose in twenty minutes. One short drill each of math, structuring, brainstorming, exhibits, synthesis and sizing. The dimension each rubric names first is your plan.
3. Open the case tool and do Recreation Unlimited cold, timed, out loud, before reading any suggested answer.
4. Then read the suggested answers and mark your own. That gap is the cheapest feedback available without a partner.
5. Work the cases from your offering. Four lean strategy, two valuation, two cyber and forensic, one forensic analytics, one federal talent question.
6. Run the five steps as a script until they are automatic. Objective, assumptions, findings, recommendation, next steps.
7. Say a ninety-second close ten times out loud. Call, two supports, one risk, one next step.
8. If you are in the United Kingdom, do the topic research properly. Thirty to forty minutes of two-way discussion is a long time to fill on a topic you skimmed.

Full worked cases with exhibits sit in the case library, and timed drills against the rubrics are on the practice page. Neither replaces Deloitte's ten. Its cases are the closest public thing to a Deloitte interview, and they are free.

What Deloitte does not publish

The entry job title. The Consultative Offerings campus page names none, and live job postings expire and are unreadable without a session. We call the seat Deloitte Consulting Business Analyst, and the posting you applied to is the authority on your title. The same disappearing record runs through its pre-internship route, where the Deloitte Discovery internship survives in archived requisitions after the program page stopped answering.

How many cases you get. Two to three rounds is published. The number of cases inside them is not.

How long a case interview runs. The 15 to 20 minutes is the practice tool's own figure for a practice case. No Deloitte page states the length of a real one.

Any scoring at all. No weights, no thresholds, no dimensions. The five steps are advice. Anyone quoting a Deloitte pass mark is quoting nothing.

Whether the United States screens with a test. The United Kingdom does, described in detail. American pages say nothing either way.

Whether Monitor Deloitte recruits separately. Strategy roles appear under Consultative Offerings and the case tool does not carve Monitor out. No page describes a separate process, and no page rules one out.

What became of three named cases. MedX: The Smart Pill Bottle, Engagement Strategy: Federal Agency V and Strategic Vision: Federal Benefits Provider appear in the filters and return 404. Withdrawn, unpublished, or reserved for another route: we do not know.

What changed on the Deloitte page

We correct in public and date the correction, so a reader coming back can tell what moved.

29 September 2026. The version published on 24 September carried no source register and had never been read against Deloitte's own pages. Two things in it are gone.

It described the American process with more confidence than Deloitte itself does. Deloitte publishes two to three rounds of interviews and a conditional sentence saying you may face a mix of behavioral, technical and case-based ones depending on the role. It does not publish how many cases sit inside those rounds, or whether you get one at all. The page now stops where the firm stops.

It stated that Deloitte opens its graduate track at Business Analyst. We could not verify that from any live Deloitte page. The Consultative Offerings campus page names no title, and job postings expire before they can be cited. The claim is now listed as an absence instead.
