You are going to be asked one of the PEIs from the website; in my first round I two different PEIs - Growth and Connection. However in my final rounds I had two of the partners ask the same PEI (Growth) and other one was a Drive PEI. The casing were good; I enjoyed the last two as they were quite interesting; they would always ask for additional recommendation(s)/consideration(s) or 'anything else' and they asked why your recommendation.
