4 hour PE Case Study/ prep

Hi all,
how do I best prepare for a 4 hour case study + 1 hour presentation? Assuming there is not time for a 3 hour model as slides have to be created as well. Which WSO prep pack models would that be? And how to prepare for the commercial part?
Thank you

The WSO PE prep pack is great - used it when I did FT PE recruiting, and it helped me secure my gig at a $1.5B shop.

Would go through the modeling exercises, including building a basic LBO from scratch. If you can do that, then you should be ready for anything. In terms of slides, I would keep it very simple - overview page of the company, overview of investment themes, risks / mitigants, diligence focus areas and proposed methods and approach for getting comfortable with diligence focus areas and model output / return sensitivities.

 

Thank you.

So your suggestion would be to focus on building the model in 1-2 hours (basic LBO, without full BS) and use the rest of the time for the presentation?

Is overview page required? Overview of investment themes - what is that? "Proposed methods and apporach for getting comfortable with diligence focus areas" - what would you write here? WHat model output would you use; only the sensitivty tables?
