'on Monday' can modify either 'the test' or 'do'

Do well on the test on Monday.

I think that 'on Monday' can modify either 'the test' or 'do' and I think that there is no meaning difference between them.


I will throw a party for her.

I think that 'for her' can modify either 'a party' or 'throw' and I think that there is no meaning difference between them.


What do you native English speakers think? And which one is more preferable?


Thank you so much as usual in advance!

Do well in the test on Monday.

The salient interpretation is as an adjunct of time modifying the VP. It’s not so much a matter of identifying which exams I want you to do well in
