For a AN1 at a BB (GS, MS, JPM), are they expecting a perfect LBO to be done in 1 hour - i.e. calculating MOM, IRR, Exit, scenarios, and 6 charts. Realized I messed up on one part in calc which threw off my MoM and IRR - the girl did say that they made it challenging and that most people did not finish, despite being off by ~3-5% I finished the case.
I also chose to focus more on the math rather than formatting was that the right call?
