You don't necessarily need to know every detail of a specific news story - it is usually more impressive if you can take a broad commercial theme and apply it logically to the facts in front of you (considering risks, strategy, the priorities of different stakeholders, and practical next steps).I would still keep up with the news in the run-up to your AC (e.g. by listening to the FT News Briefing) so that you are aware of recent developments. However, for case studies specifically, I have found that having a solid grasp of the broader commercial themes displayed in those headlines is usually more important than knowing a specific story in detail.Best of luck at the AC - you've got this! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> 💪</blockquote>
