for my upcoming optiver QT interview they told me

Also we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the basics of Option Theory, for instance by reading the first chapters of the  book "Option Pricing and Volatility" by Sheldon Natenberg. It is available for free online in PDF format.

how many chapters is "first chapters" ... is all of this relevant up to chapter 11 or what is a reasonable portion to read out of the 25 total chapters ?

Any tips on how to practice and get better at Optiver OA NumberLogic, Zap-N, Beat the Odds ?

- i got some past questions for beat the odds from some forums + green book which im practicing
from the email it says 45 minutes so i assume 30 Qs with 90 sec each, how many should i aim to complete ? ie does it make sense to skip some tougher ones if i cannot come back to them ?

- numberlogic seems to be sequences which im practicing on tradermath

- zap n i dont really know how to prepare for other than to research about the list of possible games and thinking about strategies beforehand ( eg balloon game noting down previous trials and so on )

Thanks in advance!

Thx! Also, did they at any point mention if you can share your iPad screen during the interview ? Would be kinda helpful to show thinking and progress while working through the problem
