There's only so much they can ask really. Character questions on Hamlet himself, Claudius, maybe Ophelia, Gertrude, Polonius or Horatio (unlikely on their own though!). I think the Role of Women (Ophelia and Gertrude) is likely or the Relationship between Hamlet and Claudius. Apart from that maybe an essay on the Interaction of the Plot and Sub-Plot, the theme of Revenge, the theme of Betrayal and Loyalty. Deception (appearance vs reality), death and decay imagery. The use of soliloquies could be asked too. Maybe something on the turning point in the play (when Hamlet finally acts).

There's some other small stuff too but I'd focus mainly on the above tbh!
