For MM/LMM PE buyout interview preparation, the WSO platform offers several resources that can help you sharpen your skills:

  1. Private Equity Interview Course: This includes 9 LBO modeling tests and other detailed case studies tailored for PE interviews. It's a great way to practice and understand the nuances of buyout modeling.

  2. Live Public Training:

    • Private Equity Interview Bootcamp (1 Day): Focuses on detailed PE LBO tests and case studies.
    • Modeling & Valuation Bootcamp (2 Days): Covers Excel, M&A, 3-statement modeling, DCF, Comps, and LBOs.
  3. Private Equity Master Package: This package combines LBO modeling with insights into the PE deals process, making it ideal for MM/LMM buyout preparation.

  4. Community Threads: On WSO, users like "innoutfan" have mentioned exchanging modeling cases (including prompts and Excel model answers). Engaging in these threads might help you connect with others willing to share resources.

If you're looking for specific case studies or tests, consider reaching out to users in relevant threads or exploring the WSO Academy for structured training.
