PE Interview - TESTS

Hi all,

Fellow monkey in need of help. To be concise:

I had an interview with a major MM PE on Monday. Was invited to sit "financial tests" on Friday. No idea what that means.

Any ideas or tips? Or source where I can refresh my knowledge of corporate finance, accounting, modelling, etc.?

F. Ro Joraz, could you possibly send me the test?

I should have been more precise, I took a PE test as practice thanks to a friend, I wasn't physically handed the test. From what I remeber the assumptions were the basic Rev grew %, Capex grew %, etc as well as the debt structure
