Mutual Fund Interview Coming Up - What Do I Expect?

I have a first round interview (screening) with a mutual fund coming up in the next few days and am not sure exactly what to expect. I'm currently a first year analyst at a well known BB and I eventually want to break into the buyside (hedge funds).

ANY recommendations / insight would be greatly appreciated. Have a few days to prep!
