Optiver 15 minute Beat the Odds Test

Has anyone done this test for the Quant Trader position with Optiver and can share some light in terms of what specific probability topics appear in this?

I understand expected value, markov chains and Bayes rule appear, but can anyone confirm if these are the only topics? Are there any others such as distribution functions, martingales, random walks or other stochastic calculus topics (e.g. dynamic programming) that appear in this test whpich are worth covering?

Thanks in advance.
