Took the cognitive and think I managed to get 46 correct. Is this a good score?

Also wondering what style the interviews are expected to be. I've read there's a casing bent to it, in which case I'm screwed and can't be bothered to prep for since already busy with current SA.

 

I see. Not that I have an interview, but guess I'm screwed. No experience with casing.

 

So how are y'all prepping for the interview? (Haven't heard back for any rounds yet btw)

I understand the basic LBO questions - should I be prepping for the case portion of the interview? Any books to recommend? Thinking of going through the case in point book which seems heavily recommended. Would appreciate any insight since this case thing is new to me

 

Interviewed last year and didn’t get it. It’s a standard case, just like consulting interviews (incoming MBB now, so I can attest). Perhaps more thought on the “how do we make this bigger” aspect of the case. Mental math was fine, just lots of 0s. Brainstorming was hard because it’s so on-the-spot but practice and bit and that’ll also be fine.

 

I personally haven't ever cased so this is al new. I'm planning on just going through case in point - would this be enough to prep for the interview? are there supplementary materials i should look at to prep for the "how to make this bigger" aspect? and also the brainstorming aspect.
