Equity Trading interview help needed

This is my first post on Wall Street Oasis, and I need some help preparing for an interview that i have coming up, Equity Trader Trainee position. Its not a quantative firm, rather a regular short/long firm. What type of questions should I expect. The interview is 30-45 minutes. can someone please help me I have a few days left.

Also, how come some traders are not required to have the series 7 to trade? I thought that was required? Some firms on their website have stated that the 7 is not required?

Thank you
