So I'm currently prepping for on-cycle PE recruiting and want to make sure I'm prepared for the case study/modeling exams. I have the WSO guide, which has some practice LBO models, but I'd love to get some practice with real past cases/exams people have received in interviews, or any realistic examples. If anyone who has gone through recruiting has these and would be willing to share, it would be greatly appreciated (feel free to PM me)!
Also, any clarity on what these exams/cases usually look like would be awesome - what were yours like during your recruiting process? Is the simple ~1 hour model exam more common or the ~3-5+ hour version with full operating model? Are assumptions usually made for you or are you given a full CIM and asked to form your own assumptions? Best way to prepare? Would really appreciate any insights or materials. Thanks!
Best way to prep for the PE interviews after you have the mechanics of the LBO down quickly enough (which I assume is what you’re studying right now with the WSO models) is to ask second and third year analysts in your group for past model tests and case studies. Most groups will actually have a folder in the drive that past analyst generations have contributed to with their old model/case tests. This is really the only way you will get access to real cases/model tests. Hope this helps!
