Modeling Test Resources

Hi Everyone, 

I have a 45 minute fill in the blank modeling test coming up for some hedge funds. Does anyone have any resources to practice modeling this quickly. I can build an extensive full 3 statement model from scratch (I work as an investment associate already) but not one this quickly. I'd appreciate any help to point me in the right direction.
