Idk about BB but for McKinsey cases the numbers you need to work with are given to you. No need to make them up. Make sure you know your basic arithmetic (mental math or paper, doesn’t matter) and you should be solid 😃

Hire a coach, or get some MBB/T2 consulting friends to help you case prep. It is too difficult for people on FB to provide the specific info you need.
