Honestly, you’ll probably be fine.

Your marginal time now is best spent either resting or making sure you know your PEI stories down cold. Those are half the rating and folks don’t prepare enough for them

This thread is reassuring, I'm in the same boat as you OP

You'll do great. If you don't get the offer, you'll still do great. You don't have that much riding on this.

Just finished. Despite, spending 5 mins thinking the interviewer was talking about British pounds instead of the weighted pounds he was referring to during quant section. I think I did 5/10. We’ll see if I get second round.

What are you suggesting? Calling them and saying forget my candidacy?

I failed

I’m so sorry! What was your feedback?
