Casebooks teach structure. Interviews punish silence. The gap is voice: saying the structure out loud under time, with a clear so-what after every number.

Reading 50 cases does not train the skill interviewers score. They score how you sound while you think.

What casebooks miss

• Pacing: how long you spend on framework vs analysis
• Recovery: what you say when a calculate step goes sideways
• Scoring cues: clarity, prioritization, and a crisp recommendation

A 10-minute voice drill

1. Pick one prompt. Set a 10-minute timer.
2. Speak the framework in under 90 seconds. No writing first.
3. Drive one branch out loud. After every number, say fact, meaning, decision.
4. Close with a one-sentence recommendation and the biggest risk.

Do that three times a week and casebooks become reference, not the workout.
