how do you work through LBO test without shortcuts on personal computer?
super dependent on the factset feature for looking at precedents, how do i manage without this on my personal laptop for potential lbo tests? is there a built in excel feature that does this? i know there is one where you can skip to a cell that is one of the precedents or one of the dependents but not very useful when it literlaly goes to a single cell and doesn't show a clean view.
a lot of people probably have been in my shoes, so how do you go through these tests without slowing down, feel like no FactSet will slow me down considerably and doing overall quality control...maybe im missing something obvious in native excel
You can trace Precedents and Dependents in Excel, believe it should be under the formula bar. From there it should have a shortcut you can memorize to turn on/off
Yup - gotta learn it bare bones. Turn off your plug-ins while you practice, and ideally until you get an offer. Our excel tests are in person on a blank laptop, no plug-ins. Many others do this as well.
This is the answer. Need to practice peak frameworks tests without Macabacus / FactSet until you’re fully comfortable. If a firm lets you use your work computer with shortcuts then that’s great but if not it shouldn’t be a hinderance
FWIW this is how I practiced when prepping for PE recruiting years ago
Very valid concern. I did get bad experience with the onsite computer, which is slow and has some Excel macro that pastes wrong formulas... It's really luck.
Ariexcel has as good tracing capability as FactSet
Not as good edit ability while tracing
There are some case studies on multiplesmatter_gumroad_com , there will be more added in the coming days
As others have said, just have to practice w/o them - need to memorize # formats (and how to get to those quickly), color shortcuts, etc.
