Does anyone have some tough math sections they care share please? I am interviewing with McKinsey and feel like their math parts can be a bit out of the box. I have trouble with setting up the question (the calculations part is okay). Would appreicate any practice I can get!

Hi,
Something that helped my candidates - download ALL casebooks available online and go through the math problems in the cases. They will give a good sense of required business terminology. Then you can google what you don't know.
P.S. don't follow the books solutions to solving the cases since they are not that good. Just practice the math problems

Hi there,
GMAT math questions can help here. Also solve math problems of online cases.
Best,
Alberto
I recommend you try GMAT math questions. One type of GMAT math questions is called word problem, which resembles math question (slightly harder in my opinion) you get at case interview.
Doing some GMAT math questions will boost your confidence.
