It'll take like 3-4 days of solid work and then you should be able to write an exam covering those topics.

That list looks like the first half of one of my classes, say stuff I did in Sept-Oct 2008, and I can still answer questions on 90+% of it.

Why are you taking this, by the way? Pure interest or do you plan to try to get a job? It's not a good market for people with bachelor's degrees to become quants. Even the MFEs are apparently having trouble. PhD finance, math and physics will still get you in the door as a quant. MSc/PhD compsci will get you a developer job. Anybody else without experience is SOL.
