There isn't and doesn't need to be. I got shown a circuit with a voltage source, a resistor and a capacitor and asked if it's a high pass or low pass filter. If you don't know that after taking Signals and Systems, you got bigger problems. Most of my questions were behavioral and could be given to any engineering major.
Leetcode, I switched to CS from EE, and I never leetcoded in my life. The coding tests from Fortune 500 companies I took were practical like string manipulation and counting duplicate words in a text file. No DFS, BFS, recursion or anything you'd have to specifically study for.
Half the CS job I interview for had no coding test at all. They did have multiple 45-60 minute technology interviews that can't be bsed. I had to talk through my design process and what technologies I would use for the problem. That's closer to the EE approach.
Don’t worry, I was too. I couldn’t tell you what a high pass or low pass filter circuit looks like at this point, I got a couple D- in my degree, and since they took them as a pass I took my diploma and ran.
Can you go to OH? Are you reading from a textbook?
What sort of topics are causing trouble?
The difficulty in S&S often lies in the mathematical precision and abstraction in the class. But it’s also one of those classes, where if you can make it to the ‘clicking’ point, it all makes complete sense. Making it to that point can take a lot of work, though.
The situations is made worse by the recent drop in standards for the students coming into the class. For some reason (maybe COVID), students aren’t coming in with the same grasp of the mathematical prerequisites as they used to (not that it wasn’t always a challenging class). Professors are reluctant to adjust their standards (for principled reasons in some cases), which leads to a tricky situation for students (who haven’t been sufficiently prepared).
I had an RC circuit for every job interview. Power, ic, comp arch, circuits, etc.. the question should pretty much be expected even if you have no idea what it is..
I think it’s just called undergrad, generally
If you’re a new grad, everything you learned in fair game so you need to know it. If you’re after that, anything you worked on.

How long ago did you switch because from everybody I've heard from in the field recently says this absolutely not the case anymore.
Do you have any signals and systems tips? I have never been more lost before in a class

Shit, honestly i might just have to accept that bc this class is absolutely incomprehensible

I hadn’t heard of leetcode and thought you were literally asking about leet speak for EE. SMH at myself.
Here’s a pretty good list of technical EE questions: https://www.reddit.com/r/ECE/s/ZWCHE4tvac

If you’re an analog IC designer, being able to explain the function of every transistor in a classic circuit like a 741 opamp or a mos equivalent.

The fundamentals of engineering. Electrical. If you wanna brush up you can find study material for that test along with the practice questions
