OP here, didn't answer a few of the excel questions and deck was decent. If they were expecting perfect then I'm not getting a 1st round. Personally I thought the test was odd and completely unrelated to PE but what do I know.

 

Also got dinged by these guys, who cares it’s not even a good firm. Go back to Europe this is america!
