Hi there,
This is very important in casing!
1) Actively remind yourself of the objective: What is the question? What are you trying to answer? As such, what do you need to solve to get that answer?
2) Read frequently - Read The Economist, The Financial Times, BCG Insights, and McKinsey Insights. Daily. As you read these, think about how they structure their arguments, and the "So what" of the articles.
3) Get a session with a coach - I promise you, 1 hour can do wonders in terms of a mindset shift!
4) https://www.rocketblocks.me/ drills and exercises can help!
For Tables and Charts
1) Read the title - and understand it
2) Read the legends - and understand them
3) Remind yourself of the objective / hypothesis in the case, to see where this might fit
4) Find the differences - where does the line graph plummet or spike? Which column is a lot smaller or bigger than the others? Where does change occur? The differences are what matter
5) Talk outloud while interpreting - first, it helps you think and process your thoughts, second, it lets the interviewer provide guidance and course correct if needed.
