Use the round labels
Start with the round on your calendar
Centerview Partners interviews vary by office, group, role and cycle. This workbook preserves the round label attached to each source prompt. Use the labels that appear in your copy, and treat Unspecified as unknown rather than guessed.
01
Screen and first round
Filter to Phone Screen, HireVue, Screening, or First Round when those labels are there. Keep the basics clean and your personal answers short.
02
Later rounds and Superday
For later rounds, filter to Superday or the later-round labels that are there. Spend more time on follow-ups and the technical why.
03
Group and topic cuts
Filter by group and topic. Practice the part of the process you are walking into.
Try it first
Try the same drill before you buy
These are representative prompt types, not a claim that every interview follows one script. The paid workbook contains all 145 source prompts and 83 worked answers, 58 frameworks and 4 dated research/checklists.
Work a technical
Work the accounting, valuation, M&A, restructuring, or market logic out loud.
What you get
Technical questions get the math or reasoning. Open questions get a way to build your own answer.
Build your own story
Use your own experience. There is no fake script to memorize.
Why
Your answer has to be true. Use the prompt to build your own story.

Worked and open-ended practice

Framework / Preparation Guide
