Blackstone Summer Analyst GMAT and Corporate Finance Test

Hello fellow monkeys.
I recently received an invitation for passing the GMAT-like and Corporate Finance tests for Blackstone (Summer Analyst London). Although the topic has been evoked already on the forum, I still have a few questions.

1) Apparently the tests are on zoom. Does it mean that someone from Blackstone will actually ask me the GMAT questions and that it won't be an MCQ?
2) I have never passed the GMAT although I know what it is. Did Bx ask you geometry or long equation questions?
3) CF questions, is it a Paper LBO or a wide variety of questions asked by an analyst or associate? (this is the first round post-Pymetrics).

Thank you very much for your help!

 

The GMAT questions are 10 questions over 30 minutes and the HR will make you share screen and will watch you when you do it. They will not ask you anything. The type of questions is more like brain teaser type of questions or probability, nothing too difficult.

Corporate Finance is similar to the above, with 10 questions where the questions become progressively harder. HR will just watch you do it so you do not cheat
