Case Interviews
Can different mistakes across two case interviews still leave a good overall impression?
What happens if I do well on structure and brainstorming but make maths mistakes in one interview, then the reverse in the next? Is a repeated weakness viewed differently from separate mistakes, or is it impossible to tell from that alone?

Don't worry about things you can't control (rather: one should ask "What do I have to improve on and make sure I do in order to success in the case")
That said, if you met the "table stakes" across all categories and shone in a few others, that's promising. If you shone everywhere, and didn't do great in 1 area in 1 interview and a different area in a 2nd interview, that's also still promising (particularly for 1st round).
^This is a risky answer to give though because this is seriously situational, contextual, etc...it really truly depends on so many more factors than just your above question!
