[PLEASE HELP] Invited to Lateral On-Site Modeling Test. How To Prep for Op. Model/M&A/DCF?

Hey guys, this would be super appreciated. Recently got invited to an on-site modeling test where I was informed there'd be three tests on Excel (Operating Model/DCF/M&A). Anyone have any insight on how I can prep for this? And is the M&A safe to assume an accretion/dilution model? A bit nervous as this is my first experience and want to make sure I'm prepared.

Virtual beers on me for the help. Cheers!
