I've used Preplounge to practice casing once in while. Recently I felt that it is getting more and more challenging to find experienced case partners on this platform. While I have managed to schedule 2 sessions this week, both meetings was canceled in short notice. Any efficient ways to find experienced case partners on PrepLounge or any other places? Would appreciate your advice.
How to find experienced case partners
Hi,
A couple of things that usually help:
1. Be more selective on PrepLounge
Don’t send random requests.
Look for people with:
- many completed cases
- good reviews
- similar level to yours
And send a short, clear message. It already filters out a lot of flakiness.
2. Build a small group of reliable partners
The biggest mistake is starting from zero every time.
If you find 2–3 good people:
- stick with them
- schedule recurring sessions
Way more efficient than constantly searching.
3. Set expectations upfront
Be clear on:
- your level
- what you want to practice
- seriousness (e.g., cancellations, timing)
Good candidates care about this.
Also, honest point: at some stage, just doing more peer cases is not enough. You can get stuck repeating the same mistakes.
That’s where a bit of targeted coaching can help, not as a replacement, but to:
- identify what’s really holding you back
- give you direction
- save time
You don’t need a lot of sessions, but having someone experienced look at your performance can make a big difference.
