The Student vs Consultant Challenge, a case about the Dutch cheese market

Consultancy case

The Back of the Envelope Case is a cognitive ability test frequently used in assessments by top-tier consultancy firms. The test measures skills such as numerical insight, analytical thinking and mental arithmetic.

In this case, you calculate the size of the total cheese market in the Netherlands for the fictional family business De Gatenkaas. Grab a pen and paper and do not use the internet.

Good to know

There is no point in using ChatGPT. You take this test entirely for yourself, and the results are not visible to the person reviewing your application.

The case is in Dutch.
