How did you guys study for investment banking interviews?

Rising junior at a semi target and have studied the WSO and M&I guides all summer but am wondering what other steps you guys took to prepare. I'm hoping this post can help others preparing for IB interviews so any insight into hirevues, super days, and networking would be much appreciated!

I had 4 SDs with 3 BBs and a MM and received 3 offers within the same week. I used the BIWS IB interview and networking courses. Definitely worth it in my opinion. I felt over prepared for my interviews.

One caveat is to make sure that you are reading the guides and understanding them. Practice in front of the mirror/camera and watch your tone and face gestures.

It’s really easy to read the guides passively without getting into the details but it will cost you in the long run.
