Some cases include exhibits with a lot of numbers. Am I expected to quantify (calculate) the trends in the exhibits or is naming them sufficient?

Hi,
Don't do any calculations if they are not required by the interviewer. Usually, it's the major loss of time for the candidates.
You can use the following approach:

Good luck!
Hello!
As detailed as possible!
I wuold suggest you to practice with 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!

Hi Anonymous,
as mentioned by Vlad and Aws, you should focus on quantifying numbers only if relevant for the question asked. As general steps for a graph analysis, I would recommend the following:
1. Read the graph
2. Analyze the graph
3. Provide a conclusion for the graph

A,
The number 1 tip I can give you regarding exhibits is to focus on the question asked and give your insights based on that. If the question, however, is more open ended - you can create a structure by saying:
1st I will tell you my observations
2nd I will tell you what this means for our client
3rd and then I will tell you what I think we should do next.
It's ok to do some rough calculations and state them as such. If you are specifically asked to give exact numbers, then I would do the long calculations indeed.
Does this help? Feel free to message me for more tips.
Best, Aws
