I wonder how much time you spent on behavioral and technique parts before the 1st round?

Read WSJ every day for at least 5 min. It can be just reading headlines or reading a few articles. Most schools give subscriptions. It's kind of too late now since recruiting is almost over but just make it a habit for at least 30 days and you'll eventually be able to take in info and not only understand it but expand on it and make your own conclusions.
