Based on the most helpful WSO content, approaching a 4-hour case study requires a strategic plan. Here's a quick guide:

  1. Understand the Case: Spend the first few minutes understanding the case. What is the problem? What are the objectives? What information do you have, and what are you missing?

  2. Plan Your Time: You have 4 hours, so plan accordingly. Allocate time for understanding the case, brainstorming solutions, analyzing data, and preparing your final presentation or report.

  3. Brainstorm Solutions: Once you understand the problem, brainstorm possible solutions. Don't limit yourself at this stage - the more ideas, the better!

  4. Analyze: Use the data you have to analyze the feasibility of your solutions. This is where your financial modeling skills might come in handy.

  5. Prepare Your Presentation: Once you've analyzed your solutions, prepare your presentation. Make sure it's clear, concise, and persuasive.

  6. Review: If you have time, review your work. Look for any errors or areas where you can improve.

Remember, practice makes perfect. You might want to consider enrolling in the WSO's Venture Capital Bootcamp or the Investment Banking Interview Bootcamp to sharpen your skills. Good luck!
