I know a lot of people have asked about this on prior and recent threads but can anyone direct me towards some some interview preparation resources they used for the SA 2025 cycle and found helpful? I am already familiar with the BIWS guide and the well known resources, just trying to be a bit more thorough!
Thanks in advance...

I’ve heard of people using overlevered—a bit pricey and questions are decent. The best site I used is liquidityshark their question bank is very thorough and I think they use real questions too
Can confirm Overlevered is goated / helped me land multiple banks. Haven’t heard of liquidityshark but it looks like a worse version of Overlevered lol
Hey guy overlevered is dog shit it’s a couple flashcards got scammed in the spring. This is for sure overlevered burner
thanks
This is an actual ad.

What a great post! This is totally not an advertisement!
All of the resources mentioned here previously are helpful, but I think just going on quizlet and finding as many questions online as you possibly can is very good practice. At the end of the day once you've learned the concepts you just need to be ripping through practice questions & there are a lot to work through on the internet.
WSP Redbook is also pretty decent imo, if you can do some of the WSP modeling exercises even better. Outside of that and the stuff previously mentioned I don't know think you might need something more.
The ONLY IB training resource worth paying for is the Rosenbaum and Pearl book. For online resources: ib vine, quizlet, biws, investopedia, should be more than enough
I'd add A Simple Model too, it's really cheap comparatively to Financial Edge, WSP, etc. and imo the teaching is leagues better from someone who bought FE but got ASM for free through an internship. Really good for your first times building a model from scratch and since it's a monthly sub you can pretty much learn it all in 1-2 months and only spend like 30 bucks compared to the hundreds of dollars for the other courses
