Just wonder how much time needed to prepare for an interview? I know the answer probably is “ it depends," but what's the average time? I'm from a target school with several years of work experience. I just started to prepare and found math and chart interpretation difficult for me - I was a liberal arts major, but other parts like framework and brainstorm are fine.
Do you have any advice on how to improve math and chart interpretation? Thanks.
Hi there,
1) Just wonder how much time is needed to prepare for an interview?
Most candidates need at least 50-100 hours starting from scratch to be offer-ready. The exact number depends on:
2) Do you have any advice on how to improve math and chart interpretation? Thanks.
Math and charts are two different - although partially related - topics.

CHARTS
As general tips for graphs, this is what I would recommend:
1. READ THE GRAPH
2. ANALYZE THE GRAPH AND FIND THE KEY INSIGHTS
3. PROPOSE THE NEXT STEPS

Hi there,
I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Thanks. But I practiced math and charts for one week, no improvement at all.
I am sorry to hear this. In that case, I would highly advise you to consider reaching out to an experienced coach about it, since it seems to be a more complex issue than initially described.
Do you have coaching sessions specifically focusing on math and charts?
Of course, feel free to contact me directly to schedule an introductory call.
Hi there,
The “average” is 2-3 months at approximately 10 hours per week.
Of course, this depends on the individual, their background, their abilities, the resources they use, and if they have a coach or not.
If you're struggling with math/exhibits, I highly recommend rocketblocks.
I see in another comment you're tried multiple things and seen no improvement…in which case I do recommend tailored coaching to improve your math.
I'm afraid I'm going to tell you - it really depends! Some people breeze through it, some (like me) need to re-learn their multiplication tables. That being said, you don't want case prep to take over your life and drag on and on, so I'd recommend limiting it to around four weeks of intensive work.
Good luck!
