Help with quant recruiting - resources + hardest questions + tips

Hello all, am new to WSO. Just joined to get some help with my quant trading recruiting. I know I am super early (ignore my profession in account) since I just joined college this fall, but I wanted to start prepping for these interviews. Some of my classmates are already super cracked and I am afraid I am falling behind, especially as I am not taking insane math classes. 

Wanted to ask you guys for some resources you think I could use to prep and maybe some very hard questions you have been asked in interviews which might help me understand what I have to prepare.

Thank you!

You should primarily focus on maintaining a high GPA, occasionally challenging yourself with difficult STAT and MATH classes. Don't worry too much about recruitment; it shouldn't be your priority right now. Join clubs and participate in extracurricular activities. In your sophomore year, start gaining work experience and apply for interviews.
