I have an upcoming Superday with one of Eastdil's smaller teams. The agenda states 3 hours of interviews followed immediately by a happy hour.
My main question in preparing for this interview is if I should expect a modeling test on this day or another day or if at all? I hear very different things from different people and I am reluctant to ask (maybe I should not hesitate to clarify with the person who invited me?).
Thank you!

Assuming that the day includes the test is probably a wise move. Worst case, you come prepared and don't have to take it. Either way, it's likely that some of the test concepts are likely to come up in discussion (at least with analysts and associates that they have come talk to you).
I was hired there a long time ago (2011). In my case, the test was given on a day when I met with three people (associate, VP, director). I then had to go back another day to meet with the senior members of the team (MDs). Each office is a bit different, so YMMV.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
Thanks, you are probably right, but I do not have a ton of time to prepare at this point as I was not given much notice.
Have they specified to others if there was going to be an Excel test on their Superday?
The invite just said 3 hours of in-person interviews and then a happy hour....nothing about an Excel test...
