Software Shop - LBO Model Test?

For those who went through the LBO test in interviews for software shops (ideally specific to a three statement LBO model but fine if not), were there any quirks not seen in traditional, non-software LBO models that came up in tests? I personally have not had much software modeling experience so far, and am wondering if there are any quirks to be aware of and to prepare for. Any good supplements to a classic resource like Peak to prepare? For reference, this is like a 3 hour ish model test
