How to actually use a question bank

1. Drill your target firm first

Interviewers reuse questions. A candidate at Evercore this season is likely to hear what Evercore asked last season. Start with your firm's sheet and work every question until you can answer out loud without notes.

2. Then drill by topic

Weak on accretion/dilution or paper LBOs? The topic drills group questions across firms so you can attack one weakness at a time.

3. Check yourself against worked answers

Hundreds of questions include step-by-step model answers, so you learn the standard the interviewer expects instead of guessing.

4. Know the process, not just the questions

The PE bank includes 306 real round-by-round debriefs: who interviewed, what each round covered, and where candidates got pushed.
