Number properties (all the stuff before algebra, geometry, etc, such as divisibility, primes, exponents...). Basic 1st-year algebra (linear eqns, quadratic eqns, inequalities, etc). Standard word problems (rates, work, ratios, etc). Basic statistics (mean, median).

Also expect to get geometry and fractions, decimals and percents problems - though perhaps not as many as the above.

Occasionally combination / permutation, probability, overlapping sets, standard deviation - not very common in general though.
