I’m interviewing for final round of the entry level area manager position at Amazon. I’m working on multiple stories related to the leadership principles. Can anyone provide me some tips regarding the role?
There are 16 leadership principle and I’m thinking of creating some stories around each but the thing that concerns me is what if the questions they ask are related to the same principle and I might have already used up my stories. Something like that. Can anyone please help? Amazon

Do until comfortable.
Key is doing them with real people, ideally from the target firm. By yourself is less helpful.
Practice until you're confident. Some people actually over-rehearse which impedes creativity during the case. I'm sure you'll do a great job with 18 cases under the belt. Good luck, have fun and let us know how it went!
Case interview styles are different across MBB, so be sure to practice with someone from the firm you're interviewing with.
With some lead time and a work reason it's fine. The day before looks bad.
What above said. I did about 6 live practice cases before my interviews, but reading cases did nothing. It's so different!
^ yes and yes. I came through MBA recruitment so findings cases and partners was relatively trivial. Probably did 18-20. Best bet is to Google MBA case books. Kellogg and Wharton have great ones
People go through 30-40 cases! I can't even find that many cases. On average, how many cases do people go through? Or is it a do as many till you're comfortable situation?
preplounge.com is a good resource to find people to do skype cases with if you don't have enough real people available.
I did a mix of live and by myself. Used the solo ones to refine my approach and make it repeatable: was my framework appropriate for the prompt? Did I ask the right follow up questions? Did I pick the right spot to go to first? If any of these answers was no - why? Blunder or error in approach? If the later, adjust the approach.
It was also helpful to practice identifying key words in prompts.
This is awesome. Thanks guys! Also, if I need to re schedule, will that look bad?
