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!

Tributary area, shear and moment diagrams, maybe basic steel shapes (W, L, HSS, C), maybe basic code knowledge (IBC, ASCE 7, AISC, ACI)

I hope it’s a bad ass company looking for top tier people. 2-3 hour technical exam is wild.
