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

This!!!!! I did not get an offer from EYP last year due to lack of sleep! I was practicing cases all night then woke up late. Can’t forgive myself till this day 😢

You got this! You are prepared and ready to take it on.

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?

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.
