What to expect from lateral IB modeling tests?

MBA ASO 1. Ignore my title. Starting to explore the lateral market for a number of reasons but hearing a number of firms do modeling tests. This is for IB not PE. Just asking what in general terms this entails since this wasn't a thing during campus internship recruiting. Is this done on site? Take home? Excel that we email back?
