Regarding interview reading materials

I've read the Vault Guide to Investment Banking, but that seemed like a bunch of general information. What are the best sources to learn the technical information that will come up during interviews? I was thinking of checking out Vault Guide to Finance Interviews... can anyone tell me if that might be a helpful source?

I've also checked out this site: http://www.ibankingfaq.com/category/interviewing-technical-questions/

I'm looking to brush up a bit on my financial accounting and perhaps a brief intro to finance. I'm actually a finance major, but I haven't taken any finance classes yet, just the accounting intro classes and standard math classes because of my class standing...

I guess I can summarize this entire post by asking, what should I learn on my own so I can actually get through interviews even though I have not taken any real finance classes just yet?

Apologies for the rambling, it's 7 a.m.

I think I'll check out the Scoopbooks guide. Can you tell me how comprehensive it is? Memorizing technical questions is fairly easy, but I don't want to regurgitate the same answer out. I'd rather actually learn the concepts behind it so just in case I have to formulate an answer to an odd question. Do you personally think it is a good learning reference?

For anyone still reading

For anyone still reading this thread, I found some pdfs online of the Vault guides and a few wetfeet ones. PM me if you want the link.

Vault guides

Hi Hiit,

I'm replying to your post that you found some good Vault and Wetfeet guides? I'd really appreciate it if you could send me the link!

Thanks,

Tuaj
