How to Use This Bank Efficiently

  1. Read one framework page fully and record a first take without editing.
  2. Run a second take using the listed structure and timing constraints.
  3. Compare your two takes and focus practice only on the weakest scoring dimension.

14-Day Interview Prep Path

If your interview loop is close, treat this library like a schedule, not a reading list. A compact 14-day path is usually enough to move from scattered prep to controlled answers under pressure.

  1. Day 1-2: run baseline takes on one technical and one behavioral prompt.
  2. Day 3-6: drill DCF, WACC, and three-statement linkage until you can finish in interview timing.
  3. Day 7-9: add LBO logic and one deal walkthrough story with tighter transitions.
  4. Day 10-12: focus on fit and pressure questions (why IB, why PE, feedback stories).
  5. Day 13-14: run mixed mocks and remove repetitive filler language.

Recommended Order by Target Role

IB analyst / associate: DCF -> three statements -> WACC -> deal walkthrough -> why this firm.

PE candidate: LBO -> deal walkthrough -> why PE after IB -> feedback/leadership behavioral.

Behavioral-heavy rounds: feedback response -> team conflict -> motivation narrative -> concise deal summary.

When to Upgrade from Free to Paid

Use the free sessions to set baseline quality. Upgrade when you need higher repetition volume, deeper follow-up pressure, or trend visibility before final rounds.

Monetization Transparency

This project currently uses one-time paid packs and does not rely on ad inventory in core training pages. Subscription billing is not enabled in this release.

If you want higher-touch guidance, start from Start Mock and add your target date plus role in notes so priority support can route correctly.
