Susquehanna Math assessment

Hello, I’ve received an email regarding the math assessment from Susquehanna for the Quantitative Trading and Research Intern position. Does anyone have any advice to share with me? For instance, which topics should I review — such as ODEs, PDEs, difference equations, or probability topics like conditional expectation?

Does SIG send a similar problem solving assessment for quantitative interns that they do for other roles? I thought the tests were Quantitative, Capital Markets, etc..

I did the Capital Markets one for a lateral hire once and it was mostly Bayes math and things like determining payoff scenarios for options, earnings estimates, and different stock movements.

My only advice is to make sure you have all notifications on your device locked down. An in-configurable automatic update notification for my browser caused the algorithm to flag my test as cheating.

 

did you finish all the questions? Because, tbh ik i got all of the others right but my mom disrupted me for 2 mins and i didn't get to finish the last 3.

 

This is my first reply from a summer position, how should I best allocate my time to study 2026 Math & Capital markets assessment these next few days?
