Goldman interview - written assessment

I have gone through the interviews with Goldman Sachs for a Rserach Assistant / Associate role. The MD told me there would be a final written assessment before he could give me an offer. Any idea what this assessment entails? Financial modeling / quant analysis / business writing ???

Thanks heaps!

will probably make you do a write-up on a stock of your choosing. write an investment thesis, with pros and cons, and come to a conclusion.

at a junior level, being able to communicate well, as well as structure/organize your thoughts will probably be more important than actual investing acumen.
