IBD Interview Modeling Test Question

I completed an in person interview for an entry level investment banking Analyst role with a boutique in M&A. I was told I will be emailed a modeling test and have 1.5 hours to complete it and email it back. Any ideas what to expect (3 statement forecasting, DCF, LBO?) and the best way to prepare? I have WSP premium package and was going to go through and make a DCF/ 3 statement template. I was wondering what assumptions you guys think they might give me or some good resources I should look at.
