Does Saturday count as a Working day?

The general application process for a firm I've applied to requires a video assessment to be completed. The email said that I have three working days to complete the assessment from the receipt of the email. I received the email on on Wednesday Morning. Because I've been been juggling two other situational judgment for other law firm applications and uni work, I've not had the time to properly do this one. I'm wondering if it would be possible to do it tomorrow on Saturday? I'm not sure if, in reality, I had until Friday to complete the application because Saturday doesn't count?

    If you received the email on Wednesday, I would expect three working days to mean you have until Monday to complete the assessment.
