I have an interview with McKinsey in one moth and I really want to improve my mental math and was wondering if anyone can suggest any resources or Apps that I can use to improve mu mental math.
Thank you in advance

Along with the resources mentioned by Ian, I would like to say that key to mastering mental math is practice.
And not just any practice - you must practice “all the time”.
ANOTHER aspect that is crucial in building mental math capabilities is “VISUALIZATION”. The best mental math masters literally create numbers virtually in front of their eyes. They perform the exact “on-paper” math, but in mid-air. Try to get that flow going.
FINALLY, the last aspect (related to practice) is to develop muscle memory. Certain multiplications, fractions, percentages should start coming as a reflex. This will help you in saving time and calculation steps.
