Wanted to make a post for juniors going through their first recruiting cycle... I can't be the only one who's trying to diagnose their casing problem. Done 30 practices so far and I've noticed my improvement arc tapering off. Math is hit-or-miss to some extent, and I feel as though I'm hitting on maybe 80% at this point. Can't tell if I should keep pushing or back off? My mindset is to keep going to try and get that next 20%, but I keep hearing about this burnout concept and I don't want to be naive in pushing these thoughts away. Help/advice/insight would be appreciated.

Sounds like it's time to change up how you're prepping. Instead of just running through another case, take note of the areas you feel you can still improve in and drill those. If it's case math, use Victor Cheng's mental math prep. If it's frameworking, go through Case in Point and read every prompt then create a framework without doing the whole case. This will help you a) get better at the specific skills you need to improve on while b) keeping you from the burnout that happens with monotonous practice over and over again.
^also started using RocketBlocks for case structuring practice, have found that pretty helpful
Start drilling on weaknesses instead of doing full cases. 10 math problems, then next day, structure 3 problems, next day, signpost 10 times, etc. You'll get a lot better at what you're lacking by breaking it down and strengthening that aspect.
Sorry, do I mind if I ask where you got your ~30 practice cases? Looking for some
