[QUOTE="s2203, post: 168897, member: 28734"] Honestly, this was something I struggled with a lot. During my Slaughters interview last cycle, I found it difficult to defend my point when the Partner kept questioning my stance on the case study. It made me quite nervous and in the end I ended up agreeing with the Partner (which I shouldn’t have done, as they want you to consider both points and defend your initial opinion). I believe, ultimately, case study interviews are down to both your commercial awareness AND your knowledge of the firm. Since the Slaughters interview, I was able to perform well at case study exercises by considering other commercial stories and how it is affecting the one I am discussing. I then link it back to the firm and how It can relate. I also just remain confident in my own opinion and try not to get thrown off by the Partner. Just practice with some news stories from the FT or the Economist for an hour a week, it truly helps! You’ve been smashing it this cycle with ACs and I have no doubt you’ll secure a VS offer! Best of luck :) xx [/QUOTE]
