Top BBs (GS/MS/JPM) - Level of Technical Difficulty

I've gone over the general 400 questions guide as well as the specific guides for each section (Merger Model, LBO, DCF, Valuation, etc.) but realized that the revised versions were just released this year for these specific guides. Is it imperative that I go over these revised versions as well? Normally, I've heard that the highest extent BBs go to in regards to technicals span the length of the 400 questions guide and that's it. For those who have interviewed at top BBs (GS/MS/JPM/BAML), what was the highest level of technical questions you encountered?

 

Egregious BAML trolling

Anyway, there’s not a big difference between BBs as far as difficulty of technical questions goes. I wouldn’t expect anything significantly beyond the standard guide questions. EBs (Evercore, PJT, Moelis, Greenhill etc.) tend to ask much more difficult technical questions, especially around M&A math and valuation nuances.
