Back to overview

I want to start practicing with people online but the past 3 days, all meetings I had to attend, no one showed up. I'm not sure if something is wrong with my setup..

Did you double check time zones were correct?

This is quite a common problem as I understand from my own candidates. 

Unless it's a technical issue involved, then it has to do with the reliability of some practice partners. 

Some people just don't show up for peer meetings and that can get really frustrating, especially when you spend time scheduling these meetings and planning around them. 

My recommendation in the prep process is always to look for 1-3 reliable partners that prepare their cases and give granular feedback and work with each other in a smaller practice pod.

Best,
Cristian

It looks like a peer relieability issue.

Yes, unfortunately there are reliability issues… I suggest you try people who have done more cases, who have recently been online, and that are at similar time zones.
