Junior Discretionary Trader Technicals

Ive been looking around and am trying to figure out what type of technical questions I should expect if I am interviewing for a junior trader role for discretionary trading desk at a prop shop.  Will I be asked a lot of mental math questions like those interviewing for junior quant traders or is it mostly pricing theory? If I am asked to complete a case study would it be like an options pricing model?
