SDC Capital Model Test
Anyone have any experience with their model test? If it's 90 minutes should I expect a full 3 statement model or just a basic LBO build?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, for a 90-minute model test, it's unlikely you'll be tasked with building a full 3-statement model from scratch. Instead, you should expect something more streamlined, such as a basic LBO build. These tests typically focus on your ability to create a straightforward Sources & Uses table, build out assumptions, and construct a debt schedule.
If you're preparing for an LBO, make sure you’re comfortable with: - Setting up a simple and intuitive template. - Memorizing key debt schedule formulas. - Running basic sensitivities (e.g., IRR or MOIC based on leverage or purchase price).
If the test leans towards a 3-statement model, it will likely be a simplified version, focusing on logical assumptions and key metrics rather than a detailed operating build.
