Two hours for the modeling test is a long time. I suspect it will be more than just updating a pre-built model for the latest year or quarter. I would go in with the expectation of building an integrated three statement model from scratch. You should also be sure that you know how to model out quarters. Most people spend all of their time practicing how to build annual models but then get tripped up when they need to model out quarters.
Thanks! By from scratch do you mean totally blank spread sheet, or just a set of historicals to project and then integrate?
