Hello!
I would practice leveraging GMAT, not only mental math but the overal quant part.
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!
Cheers,
Clara

Hi,
Here is how you can improve your math skills:
1) Mental math - train, train, and train again
2) Critical Reasoning (for PST)
3) Working with tables and graphs and deriving conclusions
4) Case math
Practice common market sizing topics (Airport passenger flow, real estate volumes, subway passenger flows, car usage, etc.). You should become comfortable with making assumptions
Learn key financial topics (P&L and balance sheet and how to analyze them, Basic Valuation principles via NPV and comps) and case math:
Good luck with your interviews!
