Tips for 400 qns guide?

Starting interview prep now before BBs open up in July (yes I know I'm late), looking for tips on how to work with the 400 qns guide. Do most people read the material to understand concepts then memorize the questions and answers?

Any tips for memorizing the questions and answers?

Sure, but from my experience, BBs solely asked me technical questions from the 400 questions guide. Only EBs asked questions outside of the guide that were more complex (but they still asked questions from the guide). This could be due to EBs also asking just a lot more technical questions than then the BBs I interviewed with.

Going through the guide several times helps you get comfortable with how to get through technicals. If you’re going to concentrate your focus on one material to help with your interview technicals, I strongly suggest memorizing the 400 questions.
