To get a job at Goldman Sachs, you've got to know your stuff (and the right alma mater doesn't hurt, either). But financial knowledge alone isn't enough to land you a gig at the firm which recently ranked No. 4 on Universum Global's 2015 "World's Most Attractive Employers" list.

Consider: Last year, Goldman hired 8,300 new employees out of 270,000 - a 3% success rate.

In order to make the cut, you'll need to prove you have the skills, the experience, and the motivation to thrive - and you'll also need to prove you're a cultural fit. In other words: you'll need to ace the interview.

We sifted through reports from Glassdoor to find some of the trickiest - and diciest - interview questions Goldman has to offer. Whether you're applying to be a summer associate or a VP, here are a few questions to master before you walk in the door.
