Hi,
I suggest the following:
Do one full case from the mck website in 60 min. Check your score. Target score is 22 out of 26 correct. If you do 17-18 correct you have great chances to improve it quite fast. If lower - it will take a couple of months
If your score is high:
If your score is low you need fundamental prep:

Hi There,
I recommend you to study with 2 step target:
First target: Being able to solve those problems
Sample tests at McK website are great resources First, you can try to solve those questions without time constraint. Then check the ones you could not solve if there are any and make sure you understand solutions. At the point that you feel like you can solve those questions without time limit, you can pass to the next step.
.
Second target: Increasing your speed
There is some other sample PST tests available on different websites. You can solve those with a time limit and try to improve your speed.
Hope it helps

Dear A,
I would follow the complex approach:
• Practice case interviews.
• Take some GMAT tests .
• Practice calculations
That is how you can prepare to the test problems. And of course you have to remember about time speed, so keep in mind while practicing it.
Best,
André
Hello!
I would practice leveraging GMAT.
GMAT unfortunately only gets better with practicing. Good news is that there are many ways of doing so!
There are free exams in the internet that you can use for practice (the one of LBS MBA page, Verits prep, as well as some free trials for courses such as the one of The Economist (https://gmat.economist.com/)
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
