Hi all,
I have an upcoming 4 hour case study for a PE shop (which I assume is a 3-statement model test). Since time is short, do ya’ll have recommendations for the top one or two practice 3-statement models that were particularly useful during your preparation? I figured I could dig down and those to be prepared. Thank you very much, I really appreciate any help!

Four hours will likely be an LBO and an investment memo so keep that in mind. LBO should take you no more than an hour or so and rest of the time should be focused on understanding the business and articulating your thoughts elegantly in the memo. The LBO analysis should be supporting the rationale for your thesis rather than the sole focus.
Very rare for just an LBO test to be any more than 90 min.
