How To Best Study Technical Questions for IB?

What is the best way to learn technical questions for IB summer analyst positions? I've been looking at the Vault guide etc but they don't really go over specific questions. I understand the general IB stuff I need to know but not that much else.

I can't really afford to buy guides that all the WSO people keep recommending, can anyone offer some advice?

Go over the M&I 400 question guide (you can find a PDF online pretty easy). Those questions cover like 90% of what you're supposed to know.

Beyond that, I recommend reading through the first three chapters of Rosenbaum & Pearl's Valuation book. I think it's on Amazon for like $50. Super informative read, and though it doesn't have questions, you will learn a lot by reading it/taking notes on it.
