Morgan Stanley Equity Research Associate Computer Exam

Just got an interview for tomorrow at Morgan Stanley for an Equity Research Associate position. After my two interviews I will be given a one hour computer exam that will test my excel abilities apparently. Does anyone have any experience with this test or any ideas what can be tested on this? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Hey guys- Similar question. I've advanced to final round with CS in ER...1 year out of Undergrad...required to build an earnings model from the ground up and support your PO/valuation with relevant information.

Also, has anyone heard that some shops (e.g. CS) are eliminating bonuses at the junior levels (according to dealbreaker). Any truth to this?

Thanks.

 

Does anyone know if all undergrads have to take this exam? Is it for students who are coming from non-target schools(George and prospective banker: would appreciate it if u guys can comment on this)

Thanks
