Associate Level Modeling Tests

Does anyone have any associate / senior associate level modeling tests they would be willing to share? I’ve got a test for a credit shop (been on equity side) coming up and would love to get some practice. Or if anyone has tests for retail / hospitality I would be super interested too. Happy to share what I’ve got / done in the past. Thanks!

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there are several resources and discussions around modeling tests for various levels, including associate and senior associate roles:

  1. REPE Modeling Test Library: A collection of over 50 modeling tests and case studies, primarily at the Analyst to Associate level, gathered from boutiques to mega-funds. This library includes redacted versions with different levels of answer keys. It might be a great resource for practice, especially if you're preparing for a credit shop test.

  2. General Advice for Modeling Tests:

    • A suggestion from a WSO thread recommends practicing by building an LBO model from scratch using a public company's 10-K and a research report. Completing this in under 90 minutes can prepare you for most modeling tests.
    • For credit-specific modeling, one user mentioned focusing on structured investments with terms like PIK, 5-year terms, and warrants. Setting up a full 3-statement model to analyze return profiles could be beneficial.
  3. WSO Free Modeling Series: This includes 9 free financial modeling lessons taught by experienced private equity professionals and investment bankers. It covers financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, LBO, Comps, and Excel modeling. Additionally, it provides 27 financial modeling templates, which could be useful for practice.

  4. WSO Elite Modeling Package: A comprehensive program with six courses designed to master financial modeling, including LBO, M&A, and valuation modeling. This package is ideal for those looking to refine their skills at an advanced level.

For more specific resources or to exchange tests, you might consider engaging with the WSO community directly through relevant threads like the "Modeling tests/case studies to share?" or the "REPE Modeling Test Library" discussions.
