FIG Interview questions: what to expect?

Hello fellow monkeys

First of all, I have checked all the posts in here about working in FIG and what that entails - especially helpful the post about Working in FIG, took lots of notes in that. I have also gone through the Damodaran post, done some DDM and tried to run modelling on an insurance company. I have yet to go through (in much more detail) about the Balance Sheets structure and the IS and CF structure.

After getting all these details my question is: do you have any sample of questions, apart from those of FIG, that they can ask me? I mean, how are interviews structured in terms of accounting or what I would call "standard M&A interview questions" ? All in all, what can I expect in the interview.

If you had a list, it would be greatly helpful to study them before.

cheers
