Hi! I have an interview with a MBB coming up but still feel very unprepared especially with making the frameworks and solving cases in full. Would asking for additional extensions reflect negatively or is it better to just try my best? Thank you.

I don't think so. Just be honest with the interviewer. If you have a recruiter, you can talk to him/her first.
