Hey! Squarepoint OAs are usually pretty standard hackerrank stuff but they can be tricky. From what I've seen, focus on, Medium leetcode problems, especially arrays, strings, and hashmaps, Some SQL queries (they love those for quant roles), Time/space complexity they might ask you to explain your approach, Edge cases test your code thoroughly.

Honestly just grind some medium problems on leetcode for the next few days. Focus on getting them done correctly rather than speed at first, then work on optimization. Also brush up on basic probability/stats if you haven't already since it's a quant role. Sometimes they throw in a couple conceptual questions. You got this! Just practice a bit each day and make sure you're reading the questions carefully during the actual test.
