Does anyone know a good place to get a few actual or realistic case study/modeling tests for PE Associate/Snr Associate roles. Seems like most are building a 3-statement with returns analysis and possibly some kind of one page summary of a CIM on positives and negatives. Maybe some have cap table included too...
Any thoughts or resources much appreciated.
