A few tips:
1) Try to find people online to practice with
2) Search the internet for casebooks from top tier MBA programs
3) Record your own audio and listen to yourself; be critical and note down things to improve each time
4) Leverage rocket blocks A LOT - it’s a great resource and very cost effective

Try to save the cases on company websites to later in your prep to ensure you’re only making tweaks in response to them as opposed to massive changes in approach.

BCG has one of the most fun set of practice cases available on their website. Found it very cool.

The most important thing is to try to find consultants to practice with, and be really focused on feedback.

Don’t try to improve everything at the same time. Focus on getting the basics before you start worrying about timing / speed.

Agree with the above. Once you’re deeper into the process, you can also try to ask trusted alumni/contacts at firms to case you.

LOMS is also great for developing an ear for it. That said, I’m not familiar with RocketBlocks so they might be duplicative / not sure if that’s more worth it!
