Hey guys - I'm in the process of lateraling and I have a couple modeling tests scheduled for next week, both 75 minutes. I'm wondering if I'll be able to reference other excel models during this time if I get stuck on anything...is this something I'm allowed to do? Or is there like someone from the firm that's watching me via webcam / monitoring my screen activity..
Thanks in advance!

I’ll be watching you
If not in the office, then will likely be the kind of situation where they email it to you at 11am for example and you have to send back 75 mins after. Thing is, you can reference your other excels but naturally by referring to other excels you are moving a bit slower than if someone just has the reps to build it on the fly. So the amount of progress you are able to make is less since you are cross checking all your formulas... Not always the case but just an observation from administering a bunch of these.
