They don't require any preparation. You're given materials for the presentation and some time to prepare it. The group exercise is a continuation of the same case study, from a different perspective.

In theory it's a competency interview. In reality you should be prepared to answer more technical questions as interviewers may stray from the brief.

Hi!
I have a UBS assessment center for an internship in equity research on friday... can anyone give me some examples of the questions they ask or how the presentation/group exercise was (maybe details of the questions and information you were provided with)... is the numerical test the same as the one you had to do online?

thanks alot!
