ER Writing Test with Morningstar

I am about to take a writing test with Morningstar for an Equity Analyst position, which is said to cover 10 to 15 stocks. I was told to answer 4 questions within 500 words for each question in 2.5 hours concerning economy and finance.
I want to know if you guys have any clue about what the writing test will be about.
Also, do you guys think Morningstar is a good start for me if I want to go to some BB doing ER eventually?
Thanks!
