JPM Quant Research Internship First Round

[horseshoe]

First round phone interview for JPMorgan's Quant Research Internship in the UK is next week and all the email said was that it would be technical. Does anyone have some pointers on what would be best to brush up on? Numerical methods in finance and programming seem to be strong points:

More likely is just problem solving via brainteasers and problems involving combinatorics and probability. From my experience, they will want to know how clever and adept you are under pressure. Of course if your background involves some technical area like option pricing, that is fair game too, but for an initial phone interview it's more likely the interviewer has prepared something generic they can use to compare candidates.
