[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 6607, member: 1"] Anonymous - "For my A&O case study I received great feedback for my structure. Before the end of the reading time I managed to spend a few minutes planning what to say, and had a clear structure (introduction of the case, main points of the documents, and conclusion answering the questions). I also managed to finish my presentation exactly after 10 minutes so that was good. The main problem with my case study is that I spent too much time reading the documents that I tought were important and based my conclusion on those, while one of the other documents had an important detail (about confidentiality if I remember well) that changed the answer to one of the questions. I don't know what would be a better strategy to make sure you don't miss important details in the short time available. However, when I realised I missed that important detail (because the partner pointed it out) I could have reacted better thant I did: I should have quickly read the document and explained the key argument as well as its consequences on my recommendations to the client. Overall, I would say that if the interviewer points out something you missed, you should use it as an opportunity to show how you can identify your mistake and correct your reasoning in light of the new piece of information."
