Within consulting case interviews, I would focus more on those with a quant tilt. I did not get cases that asked me to look at strategies to double the revenue, or post M&A integration, etc.
If you just take your time and think calmly, the cases are pretty straight forward. I would not spend too much time practicing the cases. I would work more on the behavioral examples - especially those that highlight your leadership skills. Personally, I was more nervous about the behavioral interviews.
Good luck!

Thank you for your advice. I completely appreciate your feedback regarding the case interviews. Even though I have been told not to worry too much about the behavioral interview, like you, I too am pretty nervous about them!
Would it be asking for a lot if you could share some of the questions that you faced during the behavioral interview? I will really appreciate the help.
On a side note I had an informational interview with the hiring manager yesterday over the phone that did not go too well. My questions were not deep enough and my responses to the couple of questions he threw at me were pretty shallow too. Earlier I was told by the recruiter to be prepared for an onsite interview next week. I am worried they will change their mind after my last conversation!
Thanks for all your help.
Gary
