It depends on which Functional Capacity Evaluation system your evaluator is using. If they are Matheson-trained then the assessment should be around 6-8 hours. This is so that your full-day capacity can be assessed so that, if it is decided that you can and should return to work, they can then determine what job demand level you should safely return to (for example, a desk job might be a light demand level and working in a factory might be a medium demand level). Realistically, it is a very good way of seeing what your full-day functional capacity is because the evaluator is actually observing it rather than extrapolating the information.

Other systems differ in that some do a much shorter FCE (anywhere from 2-4 hours) and some do a two-day FCE (probably around 4-5 hours each day) so that your "next-day" ability can be assessed.

Due to insufficient knowledge of your individual case this is not a question that can be knowledgeably anwered here. That being said - consider this: If you turn down the recommendation, or fail to act on it, this could be viewed in an unfavorable light by the WC Board who might assume that you are not being cooperative in evaluating your own disability.
