Weekly - expect to build full PPE schedule, revolvers, and have multiple scenarios triggers. 
 

Realistically, I would expect it to be quarterly, but in 30min I am willing to bet you won't be asked to build a model from scratch, and it will probably just be filling in missing lines / equations on an existing model and using some basic drivers for the projections. In 30min you can't cover a whole lot of ground, so it will mostly test whether or not you understand how a model integrates and what is needed for drivers across balance sheet and income statement. I can't promise you that, but that is my impression. 

 

Thanks, this is very helpful. Most of my practice and experience has been in projecting anually, so how do I practice doing quarterly? Is it the same thing but dividing some of the assumptions by 4?
