Hi team,
I have a 3-hour case study modeling (LBO) + commercial view in a few weeks.
I am looking for resources to prepare - does anyone have any advice?

Hey there!
For your upcoming LBO modeling test, I'd recommend checking out the WSO Elite Modeling Package. This package includes a comprehensive LBO Modeling Course that can help you master Private Equity LBOs.
Also, don't forget to make use of the financial modeling resources available on the WSO platform. There are 27 financial modeling templates available in the swipe file that could be very useful for your preparation.
If you have friends in PE, don't hesitate to reach out to them for their LBO modeling tests. These will generally be much harder than the ones a bank will provide, but if you understand them then a banking LBO test will be no problem.
Remember, the key to acing an LBO modeling test is understanding how to make a very straightforward S&U, how to build out assumptions, and memorizing the debt schedule formulas. Then it's just a matter of putting all into an intuitive template you should have mastered in your prep and maybe building out some sensitivities.
Good luck with your preparation! You've got this!
