IB Interview (Internship)

Hello all,
I was just wondering if it is okay to incorrectly answer, or at least partially incorrectly answer, one or two finance-related questions during an IB intern interview. Many of the answers bankers deem as correct are not often taught in business schools. (Academics vs. practitioners). Are the interviewers somewhat lenient in this regard?
