PE Fof Interview - Excel Test

Hi,

Landed an interview at a PE FoF. Passed the first round and got offered a 2nd interview. They mentioned there's an excel test. I emailed HR, and they told me the time for the excel test should be an hour.

I bought the WSO PE Interview Prep guide, and know how to do all the 1-hr modeling tests for an LBO. Is there anything else they might test me on? 1 hr seems really short to build a complete 3 statement integrated model for a DCF or LBO . Thanks in advance.
