Does anyone have recommendations for resources that focus on the Quant practice (i.e: a large bank of math problems specific to cases – not just mental math help)

Not looking for coaches. Please send online resources other than preplounge

Hi there, 

From my point of view and experience of my coachees I would recommend:

1. Read a few books on math shortcuts and tips (Speed mathematics, Tricks to become Human Calculator), 

2. Check videos on youtube explaining shortcuts 

3. Eventually take a course (the one that seems good is GMAT | Quantitative | Master Math Course | 2022 Updated | Udemy.

4. Last option which I think is probably the best is to get a math tutor, someone who helps students at schools (probably the best value for money).

5. On top of a lot of training and drilling. 

The good thing is that math can improve fast with exercising. 

Good luck

Lucie

My suggestion is to start preparing using the Inductive Reasoning part of the GMAT and McKinsey PST you can find online.
As usually say, don't make too many exercises, just make a few of them but very very thoroughly.
Try also to prepare with market sizing exercises. 
If you want to practice quantitative reasoning with me, just book a session.
