MSSM Quantitative Finance Exam

Hi All,

I'm taking Morgan Stanley's Quantitative Finance Exam this Friday in NY for their Strats and Modeling summer associate program.

The exam is 60 minutes in length. It will consist of four main topic areas: math, financial math, programming and finance. All questions relate to a role within the Quantitative Finance program.

Has anyone taken this exam recently? What sort of material can I expect within each topic area? Is it written or multiple choice?

Thanks in advance.
