I've recently finished a Financial Maths Course. A friend of mine had this book and as I was browsing it I realised the importance of it helping me prepare for interviews. I've got the book about a week ago and I can surely say that most of the questions I have faced so far in interviews are mentioned in this book. A must have!
Furthermore, I also bought Timothy's other book the "Option Pricing and Trading". This one is exceptionally fantastic as well. Clearly written, helps me summarise and wrap-up all the things I was learning the last year.
Without a doubt, Timothy Crack has done a fantastic job.
PS. The only negative about this book (and something that Amazon.co.uk does NOT state), is that its E-book version does not allow printing (not to mention that it is more expensive).

An excellent book, covering a wide range of basic topics that a would-be quantitative analyst needs to be comfortable with. Something few beginners appreciate is that both during interviews and during subsequent work as a quant analyst, a really deep, intuitive grasp of the basics is infinitely more important that nodding acquaintance with a host of fancy theories.
If you want to enter the profession, the 4 books I'd buy and really understand is this and its twin volume on Black-Scholes, Joshi's finance book, and Duffy's C++ book - if you really master the contents of those four, you're well on your way to success.

I'm a MSc Financial Maths student. For me, this book was the best help in preparing for gp interviews (for a trainee trader position) that I have had so far. It contains plenty of questions with detailed explanations, 0 filler. The author stresses in many occasions the importance of the reasoning process. I would definitely recommed this. I wish I have discovered this book earlier in my career!

You need to work through that book before you go to ANY IB interview! It had questions I got asked in interviews at MS in both M&A and trading. Read more

Not very informative in handling proper interviews.
The book is a light hearted look at possible interview questions asked by Wall Street Firms but does not tackle the problem of how to behave or handle interviews successfully.
