Entrevista
Hello, guys. There is a 8 min math test, 80 questions for the optiver math test. I did almost 70. And I passed. So I think the screening score is 60 or less. Basically it is something like 49/27+9/27, 46-?=28. etc. Really simple ones. And now I am preparing for the first round phone interview.

You should be pretty fast for the math test. I am good at mental math, but I still cannot finish it. They are very easy, so you don't need to prepare for it. BTW, the sample test on tradertest.com seems harder than the test from Optiver.
spent about 1.5 months pretty much purely dedicated to preparing for interviews for all the pre-penultimate programs (Optiver, IMC, JS, SIG, Citadel, etc). I used these resources:
Green book (Really good starter but I got bored of it after a few weeks)
EverythingQuant (Went through literally every single interview prep question, went through the interview guides, and completed the probability course just to make sure I covered all bases)
Briefly read through this guide
Watched coding Jesus in my spare time (not sure if this helped directly lmao but he’s a great creator and very informative)
OA was weird and hard. there was only three sections (i think) this year compared to 5 last year. questions are weird and I don't know how they can judge your ability base on that.
Mental math test, beat the odds, online puzzle like games etc online, brain teasers during physical interview and a behavioral interview where they want to assess how competitive and assertive you are.
