Took it not too long ago, probably only one generic model. Felt like there was adequate time to build it out and check formulas for a few I wanted to be sure of (there is historical data)

Short time-wise because it is largely a pre-built model with yellow rows for information you need to input.

Small revenue build and then typical three statement model. Basically do one calc or link for each row that needs it.

Know: (1) DSO, DPO, DIO and cash conversion cycle (2) Typical metrics such as ROA, ROE, ROIC (3) EPS, Diluted EPS and how to calc. adjusted EPS

Do they disable the F2 key?

Very helpful. Any useful tips on where to find appropriate study materials online? Would be greatly appreciated. I heard the cash flow portion of the modeling test has all the numbers jumbled up. It would be great to practice it ahead of time.

 

I heard they also give you cognitive reasoning test after the modeling (Wonderlic Test?) - has anyone taken it? I'm going in on Monday, in 2 days...Any info would be appreciated
