Guggenheim Chicago written 1st round?

Recently got invited to a 1st round with Guggenheim’s Chicago MM group in the form of a “45 minute written assessment”. Anyone else been thru this before or have any idea what to expect? Is this a new thing? Also I did exactly 0 networking for this so do y’all know if this is something they send to pretty much everyone? Anything helps, thanks

What does the written test entail? Is it testing your writing skills, or financial knowledge?

 

How was it and what did it entail? I just got one a few days ago. Thanks.
