Help - PE Case Study Interview Resources

Hi all,

I am in an interview process and have been told that I will be given a case study, and was hoping to corral some resources to prepare.

I already have the WSO PE Prep Pack and generally have LBO model practices (not to mention that I am comfortable with my LBO modeling regardless). I am specifically interested in any resources for fleshing out the expectation around any qualitative document you would be expected to produce as part of this type of process. I assume that you are supposed to put together an abbreviated Investment Committee Memo in addition to a model, but if that assumption is off base, it would also be helpful to understand.

I don't actually have exact details on the case study format (and I guess a secondary question is whether it is appropriate to ask that question when they formally reach out to schedule the case study), so am not sure if it is one hour, three hours, or take home or on whether it is model-only or model + IC.

I would appreciate anything you all could point to, as well as any correction to the extent I am misconceiving things above.
