The first part is online assessment, including 1. mental math (80 questions in 8 minutes), 2. sequence predicting (giving you the first 5-6 number and to find the pattern, pick the next number), 3. Statistic and probability questions (mostly tossing dice or coins and asking to calculate prob), 4. some fun games to test your reaction, memory, something like that. 5. some behaviour questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
math questions including mental math, probability, statistics
spent about 1.5 months pretty much purely dedicated to preparing for interviews for all the pre-penultimate programs (Optiver, IMC, JS, SIG, Citadel, etc). I used these resources:
Green book (Really good starter but I got bored of it after a few weeks)
EverythingQuant (Went through literally every single interview prep question, went through the interview guides, and completed the probability course just to make sure I covered all bases)
Briefly read through this guide
Watched coding Jesus in my spare time (not sure if this helped directly lmao but he’s a great creator and very informative)
Mental math test, beat the odds, online puzzle like games etc online, brain teasers during physical interview and a behavioral interview where they want to assess how competitive and assertive you are.
OA was weird and hard. there was only three sections (i think) this year compared to 5 last year. questions are weird and I don't know how they can judge your ability base on that.
