2021 SA Interview. Confused??

Hi so I am a sophomore recruiting for 2021.

I had 2 rounds of interviews for a certain bank. I kinda fucked up both interviews when it came to technicals, and I got so nervous that I didn't even properly answer the easy questions that I actually knew right. I loved the behaviorals though. But I still got invited for the third round????? I'm honestly just so confused as to why they would invite me. And how can I better prepare for an interview next week knowing that I didn't nail my first two interviews..

Also I had another interview yesterday, and my interviewer asked me deep dive Beta and valuation questions and calculations which was ..interesting. It was literally just all technicals for like an hour.... I really need to be better prepared.

Person A: "omg I totally failed that test" Person B: "Same bro, same. Well, at least we are in it together."

A few days later..

Person A: "Dude the results are out. How did you do?" Person B: " I got a 79 bro. Kinda expected that. What about you?" PersonA: " Dude I failed horribly. I got a 95 on the exam and my parents are going to be so disappointed in me!"
