I have 2 years of work experience in an energy consulting company, I’ve read the Victor Cheng book and have done 3 cases on PrepLounge (with people) and like 4-5 on paper on my own. What is the study plan that I need to be ready for case interviews in a month time for MBB? How many hours per day? And what specifically should be prioritised (mental math, structure, etc)? When will I know that I am ready? Thanks
