My school send a resume book to World Quant and that is why I got the interview. The first round is an online test based on your resume. I had both C++ and Logical test. Each have 2o questions to answer, you may have 2 to 6 minutes time to each question. Most of the questions are multiple choice questions. C++ is more about OOP and Logical tests are brain teasers that require you fill in the blanck.
