Blackstone: Maths and Corporate Finance Test

Hi everyone,

I was recently invited to complete a maths and corporate finance test with Blackstone .

While I am fairly comfortable with my prep for the maths test (heard it's very similar to the GMAT), I am a bit lost as to how to best prepare for the CF test as this seems to have been newly introduced. Have not been able to find anything online so would be very grateful for any pointers.

Has anybody taken it at BX or knows how this is usually conducted at other firms?

Cheers

Sorry about that, have tried to delete the tag without success. I applied for the PE internship in London, do you happen to have taken the corporate finance test before?

You must be one of the first people they are trying this on, as I went through the entire intern + analyst process along with a couple of my mates and no one got this test.
