Interviewed Feb 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 days)
The interview consisted of one group task, 3 case study interviews and 1 CV interview. There was also lunch provided and an opportunity to speak to a number of recent graduate recruits to the firm.
The group task had 8 people in, and lasted one hour. We split into pairs with each pair given one task. We had to read through some data, and try and find the key bits of information. Then we had to present what we had found to the rest of the team, and to someone from Oliver Wyman who was asking an the team manager.
In the CV interview, I was asked to expand on parts of my CV, and asked general competency questions.
The case study interviews all started with a general chat, sometimes about my CV, or just other questions. Then we worked through one particular case, which took about 20 mins. All the interviews were, in total, about 30 minutes each.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 days)
The people at Oliver Wyman are very laid back and down to earth. I had 3 interviews in the first round (2 case interviews and 1 CV interview) and one math test. The math test was really hard since you only had about 30 seconds for each question and it took at least 15 seconds just to understand many of the questions. I only scored about 50 % but it was enough. In the second round I had 3 case interviews. One of the case interviews was a brain teaser where the interviewer was more interested in how I structured my thinking than the actual answer itself. The brain teaser was really hard. I later tested it on 4-5 other students. Nobody came up with the right answer.

Remember that the Oliver Wyman culture really is different from many other firms. Some of the interviewers met me in T-shirts and were really friendly. Just relax and do your best.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
You start with verbal and numerical reasoning tests, which are full of fairly easy questions but are made difficult by negative marking (+1 for right answer, -1 for wrong answer) and time pressure (30 questions in 20 minutes). Be sure to practice some of the verbal reasoning tests in particular; this really helps improve your speed. About 80-90% are apparently cut after they look at combined test scores and CVs. The rest move on to a final interview day, with four one-on-one interviews. Three of these are case study interviews, while one is CV-focused - prepare the usual questions for the CV interview, for the case studies I'd again take a look at practice materials on the web but there's only so much you can do to improve your innate ability in this area. All the interviewers were very friendly, and gave the impression that 'fit' with the firm was very important to them when making selections. For the general management consultancy track there is also a group exercise.
