Associate interview test prep

Hi all,

I'm prepping for Associate interviews and have been told to be ready for a 2 hour test where I'll be given a press release and (1) need to answer a group of questions, and (2) prepare a one page summary - I plan to cover changes in OP y/y, NI y/y, changes in mgmt expectations, general trends in the industry... (feel free to critique that if Im missing something or off base).

Past posts suggested that I read research reports to prepare. My questions is, what overlap should I be looking for in the research reports?

Thanks for the help!
