What after a 5-hour LBO Test Round?

Please read: This is NOT for on-cycle recruiting, through a headhunter reach-out for related industry experience. 

Content: I have just passed an on-site, 5-hour LBO model test. This is for a MM/UMM PE fund. The headhunter says the pass rate is low from what she's seen. The model test is the 1st round, which is probably used to screen a vast majority of candidates. Somehow I enjoyed the model test. It was an interesting exercise and good to know my preparation wasn't wasted. 

My question: how should I prepare myself after this? Should I expect more technical questions (with which I'm totally fine), or I should read industry primers and research reports on industry?

I come from a pretty mediocre bank brand-wise and went to a non-target. Don't want to talk about it too much here.
