Risk Management/Quant Research Interview Questions

I have an interview at a PE firm (within the top 10 list of AUM) for Risk Management/Quant Research role internship and was wondering what types of questions to expect, both behavioral and techincal (whether financial or mathematical) and the best way to prepare.

Thanks guys!
