Currently prepping for PE recruiting and working my way thru PF modeling tests. Obviously it is significantly easier to do these tests with the template they provide and I was wondering what percentage of PE firms give a template when conducting this part of the interview. For those that don’t, what is a typical timeframe to complete a model from scratch?
