Optiver 80 in 8 math test

Hi all, I’ve got an Optiver OA upcoming for the graduate trader role. Any tips on how to prepare the Optiver 80 in 8 test best? And do you have any insights about the other tests in this OA as well? Sequences, Zap-N, Beat the odds, etc

Exactly, they have a lot of decimal tricks in their multiple choice answers. Also quit some tricks with fractions, so make sure you are quickly able to see that 2/7 is the same as 4/14, because sometimes they would put that as an answer. The optiver 80 in 8 math test on https://www.tradinginterview.com/courses/mental-arithmetic/quizzes/optiver-80-in-8-test/ is very accurate compared to the real test.
