For my first round interview, a firm sent me a case study to take home and to finish it by mid-January. Problem is that I have never actually modeled and done 3 statement modeling, financial modeling, DCF, LBO, etc. If I buy Wall Street Prep premium package right now and just zone in on it, do you think it's possible for me to do it? or do I need more time to learn?

Boosting this, how long would it take to get a good grasp of these concepts?
It depends how well you know finance, but it could easily take a couple of weeks. Take 2-4 days to familiarize yourself with a 3 statement model and how to build one from scratch. Then spend a few days to learn the DCF as well as the basic LBO. It can take quite a few tries to fully understand the mechanics of the more complex LBOs and have them finished within a certain amount of time.
It sounds like you have the full amount of time to complete the case study / model, so it could help to look through your case study to see what you'll need to do, and then go through the courses to apply what you learn.
A simple model.com is the best
Wall Street prep makes things way more overwhelming then they need to be. Definitely buy a simple model first
Is this diversity recruiting?
