Point72 Accelerator Case Study

Hey all. I'm apparently receiving a case study from Point72 next week to complete as the next stage of my Accelerator application but the thing is I've never done a case study or financial modelling before, only casual trading. What should I expect and what's the best way of preparing for such challenge?

I also BS'd one over then weekend, and I made it to the interview. IDK if it's an automatic interview for everyone who at-least tried though. Are you at a T20?
