The case studies are meant to trip you up. I recommend practicing a lot beforehand. They include some practice case studies on their site. The practice ones were actually easier than the one in the interview in my opinion. Ask a lot of follow-up questions during the case study.

Question 1
I don’t remember what they asked off the top of my head, but the case study included multiple parts. Make sure to take notes during each section because every question following ties to the previous one.
online business fundamentals -> spreadsheet OA -> mentor call -> final round (2 cases, 1 product case). It was slow response times until after the mentor call and then its fast.
