Understand how to apply a few different frameworks and then just practice. Personally, I don’t believe there is really a secret - just practice.
Case in point. Find a study buddy to keep u honest and on your game

Find the framework that works best with your own line of thought then note areas of the case you’re weak in, practice, then interview.
Practice and don’t overthink it, but be creative. The answer is often easier than you think when you’re critical and break things down logically. Don’t memorize frameworks, but read through practice cases, think through a structure, and see how yours stacks up. Obviously some case types will always entail certain structure elements (profitability bucket, market analysis, etc) but the candidates who shine and people want to hire are the ones that truly seem like they’re just solving the problem like they would on the job.

I also bought Victor Cheng’s Look Over My Shoulder recordings in addition to that book (Case Interview Secrets). It’s pricey but worth it, especially if you are new to case interviews.
Case in point and then the sample case studies on big 4 + MBB websites
Understand the most popular frameworks and try to come up with your own. Practice with friends or people from PrepLounge. Rocket Blocks is also a good resource from what I’ve heard.
Also keep in mind the role you’re interviewing. If it’s an engineering or technical role, focus on prepping answers to sdlc etc. good luck!
If it makes you feel less nervous, one of my friends explained a few frameworks to me and then I just sort of walked in and talked to the guy. Worked out well enough. Don’t overthink it.

Yeah don’t worry too much. Just be structured. I took this approach landed a role at D and then made it to finals at G before covid ruined everything
