The volume of Student at risk calculation

Hi Jingyu,

Thanks for solving my case! In terms of your question:

Q: I have a question to figure out how to calculate the number of Low performer, High performer and Average performer

The number is given by Exhibit 1 by multiplying the total number of students in a district by the percentage of a segment.

For example, for District A, there are 70k students in total. Low performers are 20%, therefore you can calculate the number as 70k*20% = 14k. For the other districts and segments the logic is the same.

For any other questions please let me know. 

Best, 

Francesco 

Hi Jingyu,

Francesco gave a great answer (makes sense since it's his case!).

For more practice on exhibits make sure to check out both Preplounge's exercises and rocketblocks. The more reps you get in the better!

Hi Jingyu,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

• In exhibit 1, you can obtain the total number of high/average/low performers by multiplying the district grand totals by the given percentages. Then, using the information in exhibit 2, you can apply the share of students at risk.
• If you have practiced this case study with a peer, I would advise you to remind them to share the exhibits with you in the future and prepare more thoroughly. However, if you have practiced this case study on your own, I would advise you to think about better structuring the information provided or taking more detailed notes.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen
