45min paper test - 1st round of interview

Firm(Canadian LP) wants to proceed a 45min hand-written paper test and wants me to send the result. I think this is an effective way of narrowing down the number of candidates as there were too many applicants.

Any folks who can share same/similar experiences? How should I prepare for it? Thanks for reading
