have a related question, is knowing everything in the above mentioned resources enough? in addition to of course knowing your work experience (like multiples for a specific industry if you spread comps during your internship etc etc). but as far as the initial technical questions are concerned, is there anything these guides don't cover.
i have an understanding of how the financial statements relate, the valuation techniques, which one gives the highest valuation etc, steps in a dcf and its components (wacc/capm/..)
anything else?
Honestly I have been through both SA and FT recruiting as a Finance major and have almost never received a question above and beyond what is included in the WSO guide. I think you will be pretty well prepped if you know the guide down cold. IMO If you get pushed further than that they are just seeing how you handle the stress.

For S&T, I had a few brainteasers, some probability questions and some questions about options theory (since they knew I really liked options), but never came across anything more challenging except for SIG. If you really feel like you want some advanced prep, check out "Heard on the Street" it is essentially a quantitative questions prep book... but I felt like most of those questions would be more directed at quantitative personnel. I wouldn't sweat it too much, can I assume you are applying for S&T powertime?
