Anyone Know Anything About Point72 Modeling Tests?
I have a modeling test coming up with Point72 for a research analyst position on a L/S equity portfolio. Does anyone have an idea what it will be like? Recruiter said it would be a timed, 45 minute exercise.
Also, they mentioned a cognitive test similar to a Wonderlic. Any color on that would be helpful as well.

Congrats for getting at this stage. May I know what have been the previous stages ? I know that P72 like very long processes.
This will be the first step in the process :(
I did both and made it to next round. I do not have an i-banking background (consulting and VC), so that should give you a sense re the modelling being fairly simple. It was a three-statement model with partially completed parts - basically have to fill it all out using formulas/links between statements. There are various similar tests online if you search "three statement modelling test" or something like that. For cognitive test - also a ton of sample tests online. Do those - it's more about understanding the type of question and how to respond quick. You'll see what I mean when you do the sample tests.
Awesome - thanks for the info!
the 45min model is quite simple and you can probably finish with time to spare. Basically just make everything tie up on the 3 statements and project out.
thanks for the intel!
What level of seniority? Did one last year
The position was advertised as investment analyst by the recruiter. Haven't spoke to anyone from P72 yet. Financial model and wonderlic are the first step in the process it seems.
Have you completed the modelling test ? Was it difficult ?
From my past experience, once you sent them back cognitive test & modelling test, you'll have 45mn interview with the hiring PM(s).
Then if they are interested to continue with you, they'll send you a 7-day case study to do at home.
And finally, a last round of interviews with other investments professionals & Compliance/Risk exec.
Modeling test was not too challenging. It was a fairly simple operating model & DCF. Cognitive test was interesting. I hadn't taken the wonderlic before so I'm glad I prepped for that one. No one has given feedback yet, but I have a call scheduled with one of their biz dev reps in the next few days.
Thanks for the info, very clear. I know they give 72 hours for the cognitive tests but has the modelling test a time limit ?
Modeling test had a 45 minute time limit from when you opened it
How long following the test did you hear back ?
Had a call with a biz dev rep scheduled prior to it the test. Still haven't had any explicit feedback since submitting
