Well, first off, it's entirely incorrect to assume that cases are the same across MBB. Would be best to get info from an MBB-er, though I'd say do victor chang, learn both interviewer and interviewee led formats, practice quant, practice structure A LOT, read the news and be caught up on global and domestic affairs

Same. Going through Victor Cheng

Focus on making your process (what ever that is) repeatable. I spent more time reviewing cases than doing them. Understand why any word would go in a framework and why you would ask any question. Victor Cheng is great. Practice with someone at the firm. Don't forget fit - you've got to be crisp.

Don't just read cases, doing them live with someone who knows the process is best practice. Speaking as someone who has interviewed no amount of victor Chang or Case in Point and framework memorization will help you with my case. What will help you is if you take the time to think about each case as a unique problem to solve and ask yourself what information you'd like to solve it. Build a framework around that and go from there. Between practice cases take the time to listen to feedback and pick one thing to focus on your next case. Case in point is not a bad place to get the hang of things, but should not be treated as gospel.
