Based on the most helpful WSO content, there are several threads and discussions where users exchange PE case study materials, including CIMs and modeling tests. Here are some key takeaways:
Case Study Exchange: Users like "innoutfan" have mentioned being open to exchanging modeling cases, including prompts and Excel model answers. If you're looking to trade, reaching out to such users might be helpful.
Tips for Practice: Some users suggest creating your own case studies by grabbing a public company's 10-K and research reports, then building an LBO model from scratch. This can help you refine your skills if you don't have access to shared materials.
Community Sharing: There have been calls for creating a shared repository for PE resources, such as a Google Drive, to make the exchange more efficient. While this may not be fully established, engaging in forums and PMing active members could yield results.
Additional Resources: The WSO Private Equity Interview Course includes LBO modeling tests and other prep materials, which could be a structured way to prepare if you're looking for comprehensive guidance.
If you're interested in exchanging resources, consider participating in threads like "Modeling tests/case studies to share?" or "Anyone willing to share a PE interview case study?" on WSO.
