How to prepare for 45min modeling test?

Have a modeling test coming up for a very small boutique IB summer analyst role.

Recruiter said this:

"The modeling test is a one-tab DCF. Essentially you will be given a table of assumptions like revenue growth %, and you will use those assumptions to complete the projected portion of a DCF and walk down from top line revenue to free cash flow and discount that back to total enterprise value. It is basically a simple DCF model that you have to fill in."

I assume there's a template out there for a typical one-tab DCF along with a guide on how to go through it. Are there any exact free sources I should be using?
