Hi,

I'm afraid the best and the only way is to download all casebooks available online and go through the math problems in the cases. Several formulas and tools can be useful:

Interest rates calculations
Compound margin
NPV using the Rule of 72, Perperuity
CAGR using the Rule of 72
Currencies exchange calculations
Speed, time, distance calculations
Equations, systems of equations
Ratio & Proportions
Solving the problems by calculating the area of the triangle
Profit / breakeven formula
Correlations, outliers (being able to spot on the graphs, tables)

Best!
