Any Links Or Info On Akuna Capital Quant Trader Programming Test?

Hello,

I'm trying to find information on Akuna Capital Junior Quant Trader's Programming test. I think it's pretty well documented what the mental math and sequence tests are like for trading firms but what about the programming stuff?

Are the question in base Python? Do we need to know how to use packages like numpy, Pandas, sklearn, etc... Like how deep do we need to go? Are we allowed to use other packages? How difficult are the questions? What's the input/output format like? I've messed around with different programming exam websites like LeetCode and some other ones and input output is different. Some have basically a file that you need to import and then you have to print the output out. Others need you to return something.

Im hoping to get a sense of scope, difficulty, and what I need to study.
