Best PE Interview Questions Guide?

I have already looked at the 400 question guide but I feel like PE funds tend to go a bit deeper during interviews. I know the basics about how an LBO works and how to increase returns but I would love to see some questions with a 2nd level basis. These can be questions about the impact of dividend recaps on MOIC vs IRR, the impact on EBITDA by either changing volume / price / fixed costs, etc.. Retrospectively, these can be more straightforward but I would love to see those type of questions and understand the logic ahead of an interview.

Thanks!
