Equity Research Excel Test Advice - examples if possible!

I have a second round interview for an entry level equity research role at a large investment bank next, including an Excel test.

If anyone has experience doing excel tests for equity research interviews I would love to hear your advice and know what tasks you needed to complete.

If anyone has actual ER excel tests they could send me that would be the gold standard!

I have interned in M&A, so I know what an operational model and DCF look like, but I have practically no experience of creating my own 3 statement models, and projecting forecasts etc.
