REPE acquisition case study

Hi everyone. I am in the 2nd stage of an internship process with a middle market REPE firm. This phase is a case study. According to the recruiter, it will be an acquisition case with 3 deliverables. An excel model, a PPT presentation, and MS word summary. I have 48h to finish everything, and the model needs to be delivered 24h in. Since they are giving me 24 hours to finish the model I would assume that it's nothing too hard, but I don't know for sure. I have 2 days to prepare before receiving the files.

Based on this info, I'll prepare with brushing on M&A and LBO modelling as well as real estate and operational modelling. Needless to say it's going to be an uphill battle with insanely high stakes. According to the recruiter it's now down to 6 out of 800 applicants.

What do you think I should revise? Any tips and advice would be really appreciated!
