Are there any interview guides better than M&I and BIWS?

I'm starting to study for internship interview questions and have been reading BIWS mostly to learn. I am wondering if there are any other interview guides that are either shorter in length or more efficient to read as this guide is really long

I am going to be real honest with you. The guides are really not that long. the M&I 400 guide is only 100 pages, mostly compounding questions, and has about, maybe 150 words per page. The WSO behavioral guide is 100 pages with over 20 of them being charts. 

I don't want to sound like a hardo, but getting through the guides, is maybe a Saturday (and maybe a Sunday). If you cannot get through these guides, then I would honestly think hard and long if banking is for you. This career takes a lot of effort, its not technically hard, it is however effort wise hard. You will have to work hard. I am trying to not sound like a prick, but trying to short cut your way in will lead to a lot tougher of a path than not. this is coming from a guy who did that and quickly realized its easier to nut up, then squeak past.

I mean they did say Interview guides, but let's assume that I misunderstanding what is being said. As a summer intern, you probably do not need to study, in-depth LBOs, but I would know DCFs, Multiples, EV, and a basic merger model (if interviewing at a BB)

Here is a link that does a good job outline the bare minimum questions you should know the answers too. https://ibvine.io/practice/ 

Hers is a link to the guides that I would suggest that you read and study from for interviews. https://investmentbankingclub.org/downloads
