Hi Floyd!
when approaching the quant part of a case, it is important to think of it as a "mini case", as the approach would be exactly the same:
To practice this (as opposed to just the execution), practice with the available cases here on Preplounge and tell your case partners to pay special attention of your handling of the quant section.
I hope this helps. If you need someone to practice this in a systematic way, feel free to DM me.

Hi Floyd,
This is what I would recommend for a math problem:

Hi Floyd,
It would be good to add a bit more context what specifically your problems are right now.
Generically speaking, do the following in a case interview:
Side note: since the human brain is not capable of real multi-tasking in terms of parallel processing, this structured step-by-step approach is not only client friendly but also minimizes the risk of simple stupid math mistakes if you keep the conceptual part separated from the actual execution of the math.
Hope this helps - if so, please be so kind to give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!
