Hey everyone, I’ve got my first superday next week at a BB in New York. I’ve been working hard on my technical prep, but I’m worried about structuring my answers smoothly under pressure. What were the toughest technicals or behaviorals you got, and how did you keep your answers sounding natural? Thanks in advance!

Hey - totally normal to feel that way before a big superday. The key is not just knowing the content, but practicing how you deliver it under pressure. If you want, I can run a personalised mock interview with you this weekend and give targeted, actionable feedback to help you refine both technicals and behaviorals. Just reach out!
Hey!
In a superday, the technicals can cover the full range — from walking through a DCF or accretion/dilution to explaining how the three statements link together or how changes in working capital affect cash flow. The tougher questions are often the follow-ups, where interviewers drill into your reasoning rather than just the formula. To handle these smoothly, practice explaining your thought process out loud as if you were teaching it to someone. This helps you stay structured without sounding memorized.
On the behavioral side, the most challenging part is often making your answers feel genuine instead of rehearsed. Prepare a few strong stories that show leadership, teamwork, and resilience, then adapt them to different questions instead of memorizing scripts. Under pressure, it helps to pause for a second, organize your thoughts, and then answer calmly. Interviewers aren’t just testing your knowledge — they’re also watching how you communicate and hold up in a stressful environment, so showing composure can make as strong an impression as nailing a technical.
