Hedge Fund - Quantitative Assessment?

I'm interviewing for a L/S role at a quant-heavy fund (think Two Sigma, Jane Street, DE Shaw, Citadel) and understand there will be a quantitative assessment. 
Does anyone have any insight on what to expect during a quantitative assessment and how to prepare? I have a non-quant background and want to make sure I don't get dinged because I was underprepared for a math exam.
