Need Advice— Spring Week Preparation

Hey guys

Apparently, I got admitted into a UK-target school with a major in Information Management for Business. With a sincere interest in breaking into IBD, I start to wondering what should I prepare for the upcoming spring week recruitment. I have some experience in school board budget allocation and individual trading: have been a trader for two years (U.S equities, cryptocurrency) and generated a one-year RoR of 282%. I have some knowledge of the US/Asia financial markets. However, I am still lack of confidence on the recruitment questions. I haven't done any research on the technical ones and do not know what kind of competency/behavioral questions will appear. My major question is as follows: 1. Do you have any recommendations for my preparation of the interview questions? (Books, forums,etc). 2. What kind of experience can I have as a prospective student to enhance the competency of my resume?

Spring weeks require zero technical knowledge; most of the behavioural questions will be something along the lines of: “tell about a time when you...”. Make sure that your CV looks professional and apply as soon as applications open.
