Given a revolver with 2 bullets in it and 6 cartridges, you spin it once and pull the trigger and nothing comes out. Would you rather pull the trigger again or respin? What if the bullets are next to each other? Make me a market on ____ (With rapid fire buy/sell).

1. Mental Math test - I practiced on https://rankyourbrain.com and zetamac 2. Personality Test 3. Webcam Interview - 4 questions. 2 were behavioral (why trading, why you, or something along these lines). 1 probability question involving Bayes theorem. Some people already posted the question on glassdoor. 1. list of mental math questions with things like: two thousand one hundred two plus twenty two times five. DO NOT FREAK OUT. I only responded to a few and went to the next round. BE CONFIDENT. 4. Phone conversation. Mostly consist of Brainteasers that are common in textbooks, and maybe 1 mental math questions. You can find some of the questions on glassdoor too. 5. Superday is hectic. 4 market making games (dice games, etc.) You just need to be quick and make sense. Even if you have no experience with these games don't be shy and try your best. The other interviews are a mix of behavioral, mental math, and brainteasers. Nothing too bad if you prepare.
