I don't know about sophomore super days specifically but I imagine they would be like most others - ie you will need to be prepared for both technical and fit questions. If you get the job you'll be doing the work regardless of whether you're a sophomore or a junior, so it's extremely hard for me to believe that you won't need to know/be tested on technical questions.
I did these last year. You should know what banking is, what analysts do, why you're a fit for banking. Have a convincing story. Steer the conversation toward things you know. They won't ask technicals unless you suggest you have background that would enable you to answer such questions. Good Luck!
