I have an interview this Wednesday for a Junior Web Developer Position and I have been informed that I will be doing a technical exercise with it.
Does anyone have an idea what kind of questions or areas the technical exercise will cover? I am an aspiring web developer and this will be my very first interview for a company so I can completely new to the industry.

I would suggest to watch some of this video to get an idea . I think its worth to watch this video Actualy i made a post on this a little you can have a read and see a bit. Unless you watched this then you should be good i believe was long as you know your stuff.
Hope this helps too .

13,442 PointsThanks, I indeed watched those videos before my interview.
Well in my experience i had 3 junior web developer role interviews within 2 weeks. Each interview had a practical exercise or technical test but they were all different.
The exercises varied from creating media queries to creating a carousel. Another task involved creating a simple page of a psd web page template within the space of 15 minutes. I also had to do a very easy multiple choice test that involves the topics of HTML, CSS Js and JQuery. I once was given a long page of markup and the interview asked me to highlights every single mistake in the code. All the mistakes I found consist of spelling mistakes, un closed brackets and quotation marks, un encoded ampersands, incorrect classes and ids and a lot more small silly mistakes thats easy to catch.
At the end of my job hunt I managed to secure a junior web designer role in Foxtons which is one of the UK's top real estate agency. I would never have gotten the job without the teaching and knowledge that Treehouse provided and I only started learning from Treehouse for four months.
I start next week and I am excited to finally enter the web industry :D
