APAX Interview Process

Hi all, 

I'm interviewing for APAX for an Associate position and wanted to have any feedback on what their process looked like: 

- The online 30 min Gmat-like test: any idea what that looks like and how to best prepare for it?
- The 3h case study: heard it was a 3 statement model - any other details of what that looks like?

Thanks!!
