Prepping for modelling tests?

Curious about how people go about prepping for modelling tests? From speaking with headhunters it seems like most shops are doing 48 hour take-home cases. This is obviously really different than banking interviews, which is all I have experience with, so hoping someone could give some insight. For context, I'm based out of a coverage team and am looking to exit to MM PE

First do the 10xEBITDA paper LBO (google it)

Then go to www.multipleexpansion.com and do Easy LBO then Training LBO

Then find a public company and make a working 3-statement model out of their filings and then make an LBO of it

If you actually do these with strong fidelity you will be ready for any interview pretty much unless they ask you some weird modeling question you've never heard of (I had some weird cash to book taxes reconciliation thing for Carlyle I still have no clue what they wanted or why they wouldn't just put that in their Associate model template but no I'm not salty....)

 

Nihil ad eveniet ut voluptate minus quasi. Quia ad dolor sit quibusdam hic nihil. Deleniti fugit vero distinctio facere.

Placeat qui tempore voluptatem sit sed ab. Alias magnam mollitia autem fugiat eius nihil. Omnis ut voluptatem qui deserunt dolore earum qui. Voluptatem ea est omnis esse perferendis veritatis.

Voluptatum ea autem fugit tempora fuga. A ut molestias asperiores ut dolore.
