What the platform covers
IB Technical Prep is built around investment banking technical interview practice. The question bank focuses on topics candidates may see across middle market, bulge bracket, and elite boutique recruiting, including accounting, valuation, LBOs, DCFs, M&A, enterprise value, debt, working capital, and transaction-related concepts.
The format is flashcard-based, so users can move through questions, reveal answers, review weaker areas, and repeat sections as needed. The goal is to make technical practice easier to use than a long PDF or static study guide.
Question depth
The platform includes first-level technical questions and follow-up questions. That matters because many interviews test whether a candidate can explain the reasoning behind an answer, not just repeat a definition.
Coverage includes standard topics and more specific areas that can appear in real interviews. Examples include debt paydown, purchase accounting details, working capital changes, sponsor-style reasoning, and technical follow-ups that connect multiple concepts.
Updates and access
Investment banking recruiting changes over time. Some questions become more common, while others become less relevant. IB Technical Prep is updated to reflect current recruiting patterns rather than relying only on older question lists.
The product is designed to be affordable and simple to navigate. Candidates can use it for targeted review before networking calls, technical screens, superdays, or later-stage interviews. The main value is the combination of real technical question practice, recurring updates, niche topic coverage, and a format that keeps the work organized.
