Trade Structuring?

Hi all,

Has anyone been tested in a case study on structuring a trade before? I heard some places, they get candidates to go in and either candidates get asked to do a financial model on site with a time limit or on structuring trades, also a time limit. Any idea on what to analyse or answer for structuring trades? What is a good answer that makes a candidate stand out? Do they usually do financial model and expect an answer on structuring trades?
