Hey there!

Congrats on getting invited for the test! Based on the most helpful WSO content, the Apollo PE process typically involves several rounds of interviews, including technical and behavioral questions, as well as case studies.

As for the "Accounting and Finance" test, it's likely to assess your knowledge in these areas. It could cover topics like financial statement analysis, valuation methods, and maybe even some LBO modeling.

Remember, the WSO Academy offers a Private Equity Interview Bootcamp that includes detailed PE LBO tests and cases. It might be a good idea to check that out to prepare for your upcoming process.

Best of luck, and remember, every monkey can learn to crack a nut, but it takes a smart one to crack a deal!

Hi, could you please share? I haven't been selected for the process this year but looking to take it next year. Can trade with WP test

 

If anyone has any versions of their old test, and willing to PM, please let me know! I've got case studies that may be of use
