How to learn technicals fast?

I’m an Econ Major but I hate Math (ironic I know!) Managed to get my first interview for SA 2025. It’s at an EB so would be quite technical and I have no idea where to even start learning. I have studied accounting and finance modules so have a really basic understanding but I have trouble remembering everything. How can I learnt technicals fast and easily in a short period of time?

Read the guides. I’d suggest -

Reading over the questions at the back of each one, then read the content while taking thorough notes (you don’t need to look at them again just write it down). Then do questions until you understand and get each one.

Move on to next guide and repeat. Then just go through all the questions like flash cards until you can remember without having to really think abt it
