How long for invitation after referral?

Hello guys,

I have secured a referral from an MBB partner, as I am looking for an internship after my master's degree. I come from a non-target school. How long would you think it will take before I receive the actual invitation for the test? I have already started preparing and I am worried that I am wasting my time, if I don't receive the test invitation. I am applying for London branch.

Thank you in advance, Cheers
