Hi everyone, have come across some case partners who have done North of 70+ cases and am very impressed. I've done 40+ cases and am already starting to feel the fatigue, but need to keep up practice as interviews are spread quite broadly over the next few weeks - has anyone encountered a similar experience and figured out how to push on / stay focused?
PS: I've heard the drink more water suggestion before - sounds good, doesn't work

Hi Anonymous,
here are a couple of tips I found useful to keep general motivation.
In terms of cases specifically, you should create a routine to maintain practice. Keeping a routine could be based on the following:
Hope this helps,

I agree with all points Francesco stressed!
In addition, it might be worthwhile to create a new stimulus here and there.

Hi,
I recommend doing several things on a regular basis:
1) Every 10 cases revisit the previous cases and think how you would structure them differently now having the new experience and having solved the new types of cases
2) Build business judgment. Read about different industries and functions. I strongly recommend practice drawing structures for each industry - profitability, value chain, etc . Then I will switch to getting functional knowledge and key concepts in Marketing (Brand and trade marketing tools, etc), Supply chain (Ops metrics like cycle time and throughput time, distribution and delivery specifics, etc), Finance (Basic Accounting and Valuation). Good sources might be:
Again, every 10 cases revisit the previous cases and think how you would structure them differently now having the new knowledge
3) Practice fast math
4) Read Viktor Cheng Book and listen to LOMS. I recommend to reread the book and listen to LOMS every 15 cases. Every time, having more experience, you’ll be finding something new.
! Important: don't forget about the FIT interview part. Crafting you stories and backups stories will require a couple of weeks!
Best!
