Best way to prepare for very technical interviews

I have a superday coming up in a couple days for an EB (FT) and wanted to know the best way to prepare. I have gone through a few first rounds and a couple superdays for similar firms - interviews have been very technical and I sometimes get a question or two wrong. I have read the BIWS and M&I guides and would like to know if there's another resource or something I can do to prepare to make sure I ace the technical portion. Thank you so much in advance!

Honestly, not a popular answer, but I would focus on the soft stuff. It sounds like you're well prepared on the technical front, and if you got this far, you're doing something right.

If you do a great job on the other stuff: why xyz bank, why finance, tell me about yourself, you're likely to stand out more, and people will let you slide if you miss a few. Just my $0.02.

But another good resource for technicals is macabacus.com -- they go very in-depth, and IMHO are the best technical resource in the industry (I know of none better).
