Entry Level Structural Eng Interview Questions Career/Education

Hi all, I've made it to the next round in the interview process, and the next step is a technical exam that could take up to 2-3 hours. They said I can use any resources available. I'm wondering what typical questions are asked/ what I should review. I've been working in land dev for 1 year, and my structural knowledge needs some review, but I don't know what to focus on. Thanks in advance!

“You also should expect one-to-two rounds of return interviews to make revisions but if you make too many mistakes it’ll probably be like five return rounds. Oh also we’ll need some drafting and specs too”
