    I don't think any specific terms came up but just ones that appear in financial statements. I can't quite remember the specifics of the case study as it was 2 weeks ago (sorry!). I just remember being so happy I learnt how to read an income statement and that there was a lot of info to get through.

    Ahhh fingers crossed! I had a few financial questions so I'd recommend making sure you've brushed up on income statements, valuations etc. I'd also make sure you have an approach for summarising lots of information concisely and presenting it coherently as that was a major part of my case study...
