What to expect in prop shop timed challenges?

Just got a timed challenge from Optiver/DRW/Jane Street and was wondering what I should expect. Mental maths, coding, probability etc? What resources should I use to prepare for the quant and logic stuff? I have the Green book is there anything else that would be useful?
