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

My goal is to work as a consultant. I've worked in finance for almost six years, doing data analysis and client-facing work. I adore difficult tasks. Despite not attending a prestigious institution, I'm excited to study and work in management consulting. Any advice or insights?
