See the testWhat is in every case.
Three folders, in the order you use them.
1 · The test
The assignment and the materials.
The prompt, the company memorandum or data files, and the clock, recreated from the test I took. The company is fictional and its figures are changed. The format, the task and the time limit are the same.
2 · The answer
A worked answer to check yours against.
In the modeling tests this is an answer key, which is my own model corrected and annotated. The files I sent on the day sit beside it, so you can see what a real answer looks like at the deadline.
3 · Debrief
How to check your work.
Two pages. The numbers to check yours against, what to look for in a model like this and what it does to the return, and a few things to test before you defend your recommendation.
