[PLEASE HELP] Invited to Lateral On-Site Modeling Test. How To Prep for Op. Model/M&A/DCF?

Hey guys, this would be super appreciated. Recently got invited to an on-site modeling test where I was informed there'd be three tests on Excel (Operating Model/DCF/M&A). Anyone have any insight on how I can prep for this? And is the M&A safe to assume an accretion/dilution model? A bit nervous as this is my first experience and want to make sure I'm prepared.

Virtual beers on me for the help. Cheers!

 

I think it's safe to assume M&A will be accretion/dilution. I'd use the guides as a first pass, but the best way to really prep will be to look at complete versions of each type of model (digging into each cell and ensuring you understand all the moving parts). Then, pick a company (or 2, for M&A) and build practice models your self.
