Are there any useful resources to practice setting up the logic of case math problems? The word problems I've come across don't seem representative of what you get in an actual case.
Schedule mock interviews on the Meeting Board, join the latest community discussions in our Consulting Q&A and find like-minded Interview Partners to connect and practice with!

Does the sharing of casebooks come as part of a session or will you share it if I DM you?
It would be shocking to charge for casebooks that are readily available for free online...
so take it for free online without disturbing others!!!

Simple - practice more quant-heavy cases.
Most math-drills focus more on the calculations part.
Learning how to set up your math-logic is more of a practice issue.
Happy to help you out with specific problems you are facing - or if you want to tackle some tough quant cases.

Hey there,
I would recommend you to go through
- case books (happy to share as well, probably with some overlap to Ian)
- the specific math problems here in the PrepLounge case database --> just break out the math sections and focus on those
Cheers,
Florian
