No - you don't need to taper for a case interview. You can do 2x a day once you figure out how to do it properly. For that - work with someone who got through the process

If you're in b school the consulting club should be telling you your case prep schedule. Trust it more than fb.

3 - 5 a week, focus on quality not quantity. 1-2 weeks before, ramp it up to 1-3 a day
