I have one last shot

So here’s the deal.. I started the whole IB recruitment process back in early April like most everyone else as a rising junior, but being from a non-target of the non-target schools and non-diverse I truly struggled to hear back from shops BB/MM despite networking heavily and having a spotless resume.

Despite struggling, I may have one last chance to get my name in at a regional BB but my only other IBD superday I had (back in April) I didn’t have enough confidence going in and I did awful, or so I thought. I basically blacked out during the whole thing. I truly need advice how to build confidence in general but especially technicals. Advice? Thoughts?
