2h LBO Modeling Test for MM PE interview —> Data Room

Just received instructions for a LBO modeling test as the next step in the recruiting process. The test will be 2 hours (remote). Will receive access to a data room and can use the internet (and anything else I guess). Did anyone here come across a similar set up for a modeling interview and can share insights? What’s to expect? Anything particular to look out for in the data room? What should be the focus of my preparation?

Obviously I cannot replicate the data room situation but what model instructions would you expect?

I imagine the test to be rather more complex than a normal model test set up (with all info on 1-2 pages) given I can work remotely and use all resources. Maybe there is an existing model with errors in the data room that I need to correct?

Would highly appreciate any insights you might have. Test is 2 weeks away and the fund is based in Europe.
