As a student looking to break into Ib, what do you have to learn?

I am planning to major in computer science and economics at brown. I am wondering what finance related stuff do I have to learn for the technical interviews. Do investment banks even ask interns technical questions? If so would buying the WSO super pack for ib be worth it? Or will I learn along the way?
