It seems all IB interviews require you to do calculations/technical questions in your head. Have you guys had interviews where you are allowed to have paper? I would be so much better with that.

if u bring a graphing calculator maybe they won’t notice
none of the math is hard, and there are only a few steps for anything you do. just practice some basic accounting flows and easy dcf/multiple calculations out loud to yourself/with a friend and you'll memorize what to do.
stuff is generally in multiples of 2, 5, and 10 making the math easy.
I wouldn’t unless they say u can
I always bring a notepad to interviews.. I thought this was standard? I've written down technical questions before for accretion/dilution - they didn't seem to care. Not sure why they would, they're testing your understanding not your mental math skills
