Questions for Hedge Fund Model Interview

Hi WSO community,

For those who have gone through the process: just two questions on how to best prepare for upcoming hedge fund modeling interviews 1) Will they typically provide excel financials from the 10k or 10Q? Or would they provide something like just the PDF and we need to manually transport numbers over to excel? My assumption is financial excels will be provided but want to confirm 2) What are some common simplifications/shortcuts people recommend to finish the model in time? There is so much detail, i am still getting used to condensing it to a point where I can put on excel and model quickly.

Thank you guys. Don't really have / still trying to establish close mentors in this field Really appreciate it!
