Two-Week Market Making Interview Study Plan
Two-week market making interview study plan for fundamentals, drills, mocks, error logs, speed, and final review.
Candidates with enough time for drills, mocks, and review.
Week 1 build the loop
Spend the first week on fair value, spread, quote size, inventory, and simple after-trade updates.
Week 2 add pressure
Use timed drills, mock games, and noisy signal updates to make the framework work under interview conditions.
Concrete example
A two-week cadence can alternate focused drills on one day with a mock game and error-log review the next day.
Use an error log
Track recurring mistake categories so week 2 targets the actual weakness rather than repeating comfortable drills.
Final review
End with the market-making review sheet, a few fast quote drills, and one full mock where communication is part of the score.
Common mistakes
Candidates often schedule too many full games and too few targeted drills. The plan should balance both.
