I once got what is 5 to the power of 4. Easy question. It should not take you more than 5 seconds.
IB (M&A) roles do not really have intensive math questions. (From what I have heard from my IB interested friends) Expect the probability, mental math and brain teaser questions from S&T, HFs and probably PE.

Nevertheless, work on basic probability and mental arithmetic. It may come in handy. Goodluck!
