The prompt

A private hospital in Abu Dhabi has 200 beds, 90 percent full on average. Patients stay 5 days on average, but half a day of that is waiting to go home: for the discharge letter, for medicines to take home, or for transport. Planning discharges the day before cuts the average stay to 4.5 days. Patients are on a waiting list, and each extra admission earns AED 3,000 of contribution. What is this worth? (Fictional hospital, illustrative figures.)

Practice with a partner

1. Send the interviewer link to a friend. They read the case aloud and hold the answers.

2. You open the candidate view: you see only the prompt, a timer and a notes box.

3. Speak the case out loud. Your partner shares data when you ask, then scores you with the rubric.
