Hey Rahel,

You are provided a case by PrepLounge that you can use.

That said, I would recommend against the approach of randomly learning a case 1 minute before you have to give it to somewone!

Rather, you should fully learn a case beforehand and give the individual that case. Better yet, case them in a case you already did and struggled in! This way you can see their approach, what they do well and what they don't...make is so that you're not just "giving" a case but actually learning from it!

Hi Rahel, I recommend leveraging the community to practice cases with others. It is the most important exercise in your preparation. I can confirm the PL library to be very interesting.

Best,
Antonello

Hey Rahel!

You can find a lot of good examples here on the platform, as well as you probably should just google some specific cases that might be out there. Prepare good cases, try to solve them yourself, and then you can practice together with a partner, exchange your experience and opinions.

There are a lot of people in the community, who would like to do it and prepare themselves together!

Good luck,

GB
