What are considered "advanced" technicals?

I'm a finance and accounting major and I'm wondering if I'll be torn a new one during summer analyst interviews because of my majors. What exactly are "advanced" technicals? I've gone through the WSO, M&I, and Vault Guides already and I assume they'll be representative of the questions they would ask at bulge brackets that don't really care as much about prior experience, but what about the shops that are known for more technical interviews (Moelis, BX, Greenhill)? Any examples?

And any tips to refresh on accounting stuff? I feel like almost all the accounting I learn in school is irrelevant for these interviews.
