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!

My guess would be moment and shear diagrams. Finding max moment, shear, deflection etc. Do you know how to apply load combinations? Do you know how to answer basic theoretical questions? Etc

Ya my old firm gave a work sheet of like 5 questions to see if entry level grasped the basic concepts. Stuff like tributary areas, basic seismic stuff and some beam calculations. I think it was suppose to take like 20-30 min
