Should I restart my case-cracking skills or continue from last years rounds?

Hi, 

Keen on understanding if anyone has started from ground 0 after being a seasoned Casecracker and got better results?

Have gone through 2 partner rounds in MBB. Failed first due to poor prep in general. Failed second due to weird dynamics in 1 of 2 interviews that I did not pick up on during the case itself, which made me fail in structuring and driving it properly. 

Now, as recruiting soon picks up - I am torn between starting with Crafting Cases again (2Y since first time), or just hit the ground running with practice sub-segments and case interviews

Over the past 2 years, I have probably done 50+ cases, gone through 15+ interviews at different firms, and worked at a smaller firm spun out from MBB.

 
 

I did Crafting Cases and watched some full IV on YT to get the grasp of it. Once I felt okey ish with live practicing, I started to do interviews with peers. Kept an error log and trained on flaws whenever I had time or no one could show up for interviews. But best practice really is live casing, especially if it is with someone solid.
