Investment Banking Internship Modelling Test - What to expect?

Hi All,

I've been invited for a 2-hour excel modelling test with a boutique IB firm in London, I've never done this before so was wondering what to expect in terms of the type of models I am most likely to be asked to create. What exactly are employers looking at when assessing these types of tests, is it speed, accuracy, questioning assumptions etc?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you
