Advice for first round SKP interview

Hello all, wondering if anyone has any advice regarding the first round interviews at Simon Kucher for the life sciences practice. I have made a series of final rounds with other firms but have not yet secured an offer, so looking for some advice. 

 

Interviewed for the generalist practice (not sure how different interviews are aside from the ls focus). First round felt fairly relaxed as it was with a first year consultant going through atypical behaviorals. Case was focused on a marketing strategy- felt very quant focused, nothing hard but just a lot of calculations. Would brush up on your mental math.

Would expect pricing/market entry focused case as that’s where their work aligns.
