4 Hour Modeling Test

Has anyone done a 4+ hour modeling test? I am interviewing with a RE fund and I'm curious what they could have me doing that would take 4 hours. I've confirmed it's just modeling and no presentation.

The longest test I have had was 2 hours: build out a simple multifamily pro forma, unlevered / levered cash flows and returns, amortization table, multiple debt pieces, JV waterfall, etc. for a 2 hour test.

I guess I'm confused what about what they could add to make it 2x as long as this 2 hour test. Are they just being generous with time? Likely to be monthly cash flows instead of annual? Where could they trip me up?
