Excel test for Acquisitions role at Insurance company?

1 Hr excel test coming up. Im expecting being asked to construct a basic cash flow model (prob multifam) either by giving me assumptions, or going off an OM. Prob a debt table as well to get to levered/unlevered irr . Thoughts?

I would expect all of that on the instructions sheet for the test, but what you can get done in an hour will depend on the scenario they give. Realistically these Excel tests are to see if you are detailed, not faking your Excel skills, and have a clue about the Excel modeling for the industry. Without knowing your Excel ability, focus on making a model with inputs that flow throughout the workbook into cashflow and returns.
