Ah, the quest for insights into Pathway Capital Management's interview process, specifically the Excel test, is a noble one indeed! While the specific details about Pathway Capital Management's interview process or their Excel test aren't directly covered in the treasure trove of WSO content, I can still offer some general guidance based on the highest ranked content on WSO that might help you prepare for what's ahead.
Excel Proficiency: It's crucial to have a solid grasp of Excel. This includes being comfortable with formulas, pivot tables, and perhaps most importantly for finance, financial modeling. The Modeling & Valuation Bootcamp mentioned in the WSO offerings could be a great way to sharpen these skills.
Financial Modeling Tests: Many finance interviews include a modeling test. This could range from creating a simple three-statement model to more complex LBO models. The Private Equity Interview Bootcamp and the LBO Modeling course from the Private Equity Master Package on WSO are excellent resources to get up to speed.

Know the Basics Inside Out: Make sure you're comfortable with the basics of Excel, including shortcuts, as they can significantly speed up your work. The Excel Shortcuts PC & Mac resource from WSO could be a game-changer.
Understand What They're Looking For: While it's hard to say exactly what Pathway Capital Management might ask, firms generally use these tests to assess your technical skills, attention to detail, and ability to apply financial concepts practically.
