I have an excel case study coming up next week that's timed. To save time on formulas and formatting, I was going to create a simple cash flow model and copy it over to the given excel case study and then input their assumptions etc. Is this a bad idea/ can they tell if I copy over ? or should I play it completely safe and just build everything from scratch on their excel sheet.

It depends… how long is the test? And what firm is it? Like a prestige firm or local?
I do a template all the time, issue is sometimes you miss a mistake. I've sent in a test where it had the path to my old sheet (under my name) and we'll see if it affects an next round but build everything else from scratch.
I had a template for assumptions, a full monthly/annual model, and debt schedule. Plugged into but ran into issues since I moved things around so ended up building a lot again but had a solid 30 mins of time left and just checked it/sent it in early.
They're going to take a quick look at it over maybe a few minutes, see what returns you got and if it looks good.
Chill dude lmao. When would you ever fully build out a debt schedule, amortization, etc in your proforma? Almost all models we all use have built in templates that involve some sort of inputting assumptions. You act like the modeling we do in RE is extremely complicated and takes a genius, it's not rocket science.
