Last minute test interview in banking?

So, I got a follow up email for a second round interview for a commercial (loan) portfolio analyst and in the last line of the email all they said was "Make sure to bring a calculator, we have a test for you."

I plan on brushing up on basic ratios and calculations, but I'm not sure what to isolate and plan on. Is there anyone in commercial loans/ fixed income who has any idea what they may be planning/expecting with a test for an entry level employee?

Thanks ahead of time guys
