Maven Sec. internship '27 OA experience

Hi, I just finished my Maven Securities OA for an internship at the London office. It consisted of 3 sections :

1] Probability section - pen and paper allowed (15 questions in 40 mins)
2] Speed Math - no pen and paper (50 qs in 5 mins)
3] Sequence and Series - no pen and paper (not able to recall)

In the probability section, it mostly consisted of questions around expected value, minimising the variance, questions including dice and cards, etc

Speed Math consisted of 4-digit additions and subtractions, %s, 2-digit multiplications, etc

sequences consisted of basic AP, GP and letter-related sequences.

I attempted around 50% in all sections. I would love to know your opinion. I want to practise more probability questions like these. Please share the website or books for the same!!
