Oh God. Learn your market sizing really well. There's a pattern to it that takes some practice, but eventually makes them all the same. Try to keep your estimates reasonable and keep the numbers rounded.

They like brain teasers too, just stay relaxed and think things through. It's not that scary, but they like to throw in some minor math that you'll have to calculate. Maybe practice basic arithmetic out loud.

The final thing is to just sort of brainstorm business solutions and learn some basic consulting frameworks (e.g. SWOT). You can find this on a Google search. Come up with the right framework, and it's easy.

Good luck
