Point72 Academy Superday?

Has anyone been through or heard of what Point72 Academy's superday is like? I haven't been tested on too many technical finance questions so far, which is weird for a finance position. I am wondering if the superday will also be very non technical.

Depending on where you're recruiting from, there will be a few rounds. I had an two in-person phone screens followed by a modeling and writeup test in their NYC offices, held very early Saturday morning (so it wouldn't affect summer analysts going into the office). There normally is a lot of talent in that pool - peers were interns at top PE firms, investment shops, and banks.

After passing this test there is a more traditional interview round - fit, pitching, and culmination in an offer. I remember the final superday interviews to be much more like standard HF superdays, which themselves are very different from ib interviews. They are looking for raw talent and critical thinking ability, as opposed to the ability to tank through all nighters and stay fresh in the morning.
