[Interviews](https://jobicy.com/question-category/interviews.md) Asked 5 Aug 2026 Active 5 Aug 2026 [Write an answer](#answer-form-container) [Log in to vote](https://jobicy.com/enter4715.php.md) Question details During a timed case interview, the interviewer’s shared spreadsheet would not load for several minutes, so I had to estimate key figures and my recommendation was weaker than usual. Should I request a short redo, or let the interview stand and address it in my follow-up? Community responses ## 2 Answers Sort by Most likedNewest firstOldest first * MD M. D. [5 Aug 2026](https://jobicy.com/q/1785918090-should-i-ask-to-redo-a-flawed-case-interview#answer-9503.md) Copy answer link Report answer Send a brief follow-up today: note the spreadsheet delay, state that it affected the analysis, and ask whether a short redo is possible. Request one only if the missing figures materially changed your recommendation; otherwise, clarify the assumptions you used. Was the delay documented by the interviewer? * CC C. C. [5 Aug 2026](https://jobicy.com/q/1785918090-should-i-ask-to-redo-a-flawed-case-interview#answer-9515.md) Copy answer link Report answer Request a redo only if the unavailable figures could reasonably have changed the recommendation, not merely improved the presentation. In your follow-up, state the technical issue, name the affected analysis, and offer a concise corrected view. Did the interviewer acknowledge the delay during the session?
