URGENT: Financial Modeling Test

Have a financial modeling test for 2 hours for an equity analyst interview. I am assuming it will be a 3 statement integrated model with basic ratios. My concern is will they ask to build it from scratch or do you think they will provide a template.

Also - can someone clarify would they expect you to build different schedules (debt schedule, depreciation schedule, working capital, etc).

Lastly- any recommendations on how to best prepare for this.

Please keep in mind it’s 1.5-2 hours long.
