Heard through the vine
Here's what actual students are saying about IB Vine.
“When compared to other popular interview prep resources like the 400 Questions guide, WSP Red Book, and BIWS guides, IB Vine had the most comprehensive question bank I came across in a very digestible format. Control-F'ing through dense PDFs is time consuming, and the 400 guide is quite surface-level. IB Vine has many more complex technicals that you wouldn't often come across in other formats, and the Practice flashcards have a well-made UI to get high-quality reps in quickly. This makes for a frictionless experience well-fit to students who are looking for a convenient way to get comprehensive reps in to test their knowledge. It also matters a lot for students that IB Vine is much cheaper than many other options around.”

Beyond the 400 questions guide, try to understand a deeper level and the underlying concepts of the questions being asked. Use ibvine, it really helps.

IB Vine has excellent questions, especially multistep ones. In my experience I've gotten grilled on accretion/dilution, bond math, and merger model questions. IB Vine has great practice for all of those.

As a nontraditional transfer student who has been rendered unavailable to many resources at my university (Leadership positions at clubs, immediately behind the recruiting cycle, etc.) IB Vine has been an absolute game changer in my IB prep.

From my experience interviewing FT for IB, it’s not enough to just know the 400 questions anymore (it’s a good starting point) but to look at even more advanced questions. Would recommend IB Vine.

Just got off the phone with a kid who interned at a Dallas PE firm. He mentioned that IBvine.io helped him secure that internship as well as his Summer Analyst offer, especially since he came from a non-target with no resources.
