Citadel CAP Interview Process?

So I'm aware that the interview process for the Citadel CAP program involves some kind of modeling test alongside the Wonderlic in the first round.

Any advice on what to prepare for the modeling test? I'm learning how to project the 3 financial statements and how to model that on excel. Do I need to be super knowledgable about financial ratios/metrics? Thanks.
