It's pretty straightforward math: structure your math up front in words, run the numbers, then interpret in the context of the case. Best prep would probably be to try to structure out business math problems and invent numbers to multiply together. Be able to use decimals, percentages, etc.

Need advice on a specific question!
Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?
