Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
We are happy to answer the most frequently asked questions.

To access the question sets, you first need to sign up for a free PrepLounge account. With a free membership, you can view a selection of questions and try out the first sets.

The question sets bring together the most common topics asked in Investment Banking, Corporate Finance, and Private Equity interviews. This allows you to focus your practice on the areas interviewers test most frequently. They help you strengthen your fundamentals, internalize typical ways of thinking, and become more confident in delivering clear and structured answers.

Case studies usually simulate complete business problems, while the question sets focus on highly targeted technical interview questions. They are shorter, more structured, and designed to test your technical knowledge efficiently. This makes them particularly useful for preparing for the technical rounds of finance interviews.

You can start by working through the question sets on your own to get an initial feel for the structure and logic of the questions. Afterwards, it’s best to practice them in a real interview environment with other members, you’ll find new invitations on the Meeting Board every day. If nothing suitable is available, you can use the Candidate Listing or post your own invitation. To take your preparation to the next level, you can also schedule coaching sessions with our experienced coaches who have helped many candidates secure their dream job offer.

Our tip: Review the Finance Interview Basics beforehand to build a stronger foundation and deepen your overall understanding.

The difficulty levels help you gauge how deep the questions in each set go. Beginner sets cover foundational topics such as simple definitions or basic calculations, while intermediate and advanced sets focus on more complex concepts, modeling logic, and connections between financial metrics. This allows you to tailor your preparation to your current skill level.

Each question in the set includes a dropdown with the complete solution path or a model answer. This allows you to check whether your reasoning, structure, and explanation align with what interviewers typically expect. However, we recommend not opening the solution too quickly – give yourself time to think and work through the question on your own first.

Yes, the sets are based on the types of technical questions typically asked in Investment Banking, Private Equity, Corporate Finance, and Audit interviews. They cover both theoretical concepts and short mini-cases that closely mirror real interview situations. The goal is to prepare you for the question style, depth, and expectations of actual interviewers.

The star rating reflects how other users have evaluated the question set – including its quality, difficulty, and overall usefulness. It helps you gauge how challenging or helpful a set is compared to others on the platform. The higher the rating, the more valuable past candidates found it for their interview preparation.
