What to expect from the Series 50?

I am 99% sure I am going to land an analyst position at a pubfin firm in NYC. If offered the position, I have to pass the series 50 within 30 days (the firm will provide study materials and will pay the exam fee). Im kind of nervous. A quick google search tells me the national pass rate is 84%, and consists of 100 MC questions requiring 71% or higher to pass.

I'm kind of annoyed because, unlike the Series 63/65/7/79, the exam is relatively obscure and there aren't really any free study materials on Google or even YouTube. I want to get a jump start on preparing. What can I do to prepare, and also, how hard is the exam? Is 30 days of studying while working doable, am I overthinking it?

Thank you for any help!
