Trading interview prep?

I’ve been hearing back from some trading firms that I applied to for their junior trader positions. Some of these callbacks include assessments, any way to prepare for these or what they entail?

I also don’t have much experience in trading, so what would be some things I need to know for the interview portions?

TLDR: How do I prepare for trading interviews and what do I have to know?
