Marshall Wace - Investment Analyst - Summer Internship - Final Round Interview/Tests

Hi everyone, I have been lucky enough to make it to the final round of Marshall Wace's Investment Analyst internship recruiting process involving a 90 minute test and face to face interview, I was wondering if anyone who has had a test for a hedge fund could offer any insight to what could be asked?

I am assuming:

Stock pitches Aptitude-esque tests Brainteasers Technicals

Could anyone offer anything in terms of the expected level? Much appreciated,

Y
