Keep fucking up template tests

frustrated bc I can rip a model from scratch decently quickly but the template practice tests keep throwing me off

feeling nervous abt getting hit w/ a weird model during upcoming on cycle, advice?

Seems super obvious so you may not like the advice but just keep practicing. Try working with different LBO model templates (WSP, peak frameworks, CS 45 / 60 min tests, etc) to get comfortable with working on different templates. That’s really all you can do to prepare. During the actual interview maybe spent a minute or two at the beginning understanding how everything flows before jumping in so you get lay of the land. Good luck recruiting
