Do lateral modeling tests provide a template?
As stated above, looking to lateral and know that many banks have modeling tests. Do they usually provide a template or do you have to build from scratch?
Thanks!

They provide the entire working model, you just have to fill the historical financials into the labeled boxes.
Wow did not realize it was that simple. What kind of bank?
I was just joking...the point of the exercise is doing the modeling, not typing in the numbers. Modeling tests are more of a PE thing than IB, however in a true modeling test, you'd be expected to create the model itself, not just fill in the financials.
Lmao
I did one where the three statements were mostly built out, then the DCF portion was barebones, and the LBO portion was a blank sheet except for the assumptions they wanted you to use.
Thank you for that, was this for a lateral move? May I ask which bank?
