Sales and Trading Mental Math/Sequences Practice

Hey

I have an math interview for a prop shop that I have to complete in the next 2 weeks. Is there any resources online to practice sequences/series questions that are common? (The type of questions where you have to find the next term in the series of #s and letters)

Also, is there any books on brainteasers you would recommend? Brain teasers are common in the interview process, so I feel it is a worthwhile investment.

Thanks
