Hi all,
I will be having a final round interview day for an analyst 1 position (large bank). During the day I will be having a 1 hour modelling test.
As I have limited modelling experience I have no idea what they will ask me to do. Operating model? LBO? DCF? Wat will they provide me?
How can I learn that asap?

how in earth did you get a final round interview for analyst 1 without any proper FM knowledge? SMH.
Anyway, try to build a model from scratch and do easy projections. You will likely be asked to spread some figures (project IS, BS, CFS) and likely yes, an LBO and a DCF. Look for youtube videos but practice rather than anything - that is what i did myself.
Good luck!
