Best way to prep for cases in short period of time. I have about 2-3 weeks to prep for a case study and unfortunately didn’t have time to prep this summer due to working multiple jobs. Does anyone have any advice for short term Case prep? I have already ready Case in point and done some cases.

Live cases with someone. As many as you can! DM — I can probably help you out a bit

Hi! I would like to case with you if possible. I can provide my email since I can't dm.

“Hacking the case interview” has a good practice book. They also have 10 min long cases on youtube that I found helpful.

Wouldn't stress too much about it- I used two weeks to prepare outside of work and read case interview secrets by victor cheng and read through multiple casebooks (wharton and others) and online cases on firm websites. I practiced probably 10 cases live with non consulting people and did the other ones solo

Many thanks!
