Macquarie Superday Prep

Hey guys, I was recently invited to a superday with Macquarie Capital(IB) on Friday. This would be my first one so I am not sure what to expect. Coming from a liberal arts background, I have very limited knowledge when it comes to technical questions. What can I do to prepare in the next 3 days? I have read through many of the technicals in the M&I 400 question guide but since I do not really understand many of the underlying concepts, I would struggle to answer questions where numbers are changed around. Will they take mercy on me since I have not had an investment banking internship and have never taken a finance class? My first round interview solely consisted of behavioral and background questions. Is it worth trying to cram technicals or should I just get the basics and my story down? Thank you for the help!

I read that they were fond of brainteasers before my first round, but I did not end up getting any to my surprise. However, I did have to take an online psychometric test after my first round before getting the invite.
