How long do you guys spend prepping for a case interview? I feel like anything more than 10 hours is excessive.

I would say you shouldn’t have a time limit, but constantly prepare a little bit at a time. Cramming in 10 hours a few days before one is excessive. You should be prepping over the course of a few weeks.
