Keep practicing... I was terrible my first time through - get to the point where you think of it as the fun part of the interview. Also in my opinion you shouldn’t know how you are gonna structure a case going into it - at least for us - memorizing approaches might hurt more than help.

How often do you get to know exactly what you will be doing for 30 mins of a 45 minute interview?
