How long to be ready for PE interviews?

1st year analyst who hasn’t prepped at all but have a connection at a MF who has an opening for summer 2026. Would I be able to prep and get ready for the modeling test and everything for an interview in ~2 weeks?

Molestias aspernatur nemo incidunt. Quibusdam id id explicabo adipisci officia. Et optio exercitationem ipsam suscipit officiis delectus dignissimos corrupti.

Recusandae quis minus quo qui. Quod unde animi tenetur tempora veritatis sapiente. Maxime fuga aut odit dolore beatae. Voluptatem voluptatem eveniet ex aspernatur esse est.

Quia aspernatur voluptatem quia placeat. Eius sit ut consequuntur illo architecto laboriosam dolores. Ipsa qui atque illum officia quam. Omnis ipsum repellat eligendi laboriosam.
