We had a hard time to follow the course of the Case and don't think that this is necessarily a beginner case - just a comment not a question :)

Thanks, Ian.
I only did intermediary and hard cases before but here I got lost :P
Ah! That's totally fair! Sometimes we just get tripped up :) Some cases are easier/harder for different people!
Also, sometimes cases aren't quite as linear/logical as we might expect! Thanks for your input btw!

Hello Gloria!
Which parts of it you found more challenging?
After years coaching candidates with really different backgrounds, I have realized -to my surprise- that different people struggle with different things, and it´s harder than you imagine to rate cases as “beginner” or “advanced”.
Cheers,
Clara

Hi Gloria,
I appreciate the input! (As I'm sure Preplounge does too).
However, this case is definitely beginner. It's a very straighforward (linear) case, not touching on complicated topics, and with simple charts/graphs/math.
In my view it is categorized correctly…make sure you continue your case prep as it gets much harder than this!
