Very First Case + Behavioral Interview Friday - need help!

Hello! I am interviewing for a Strategy and Operations role at a reputable firm, and I have been informed that the interview will consist of a 30-minute case and a 30-minute behavioral assessment... Problem is that I have never had a legitmate interview, and not really too sure how to prepare. Sure, I have practiced casing for some time and behaviorals a little bit, but I don't think I am necessarily good at either, and seem average at casing at best (ChatGPT says I fail to be MECE a lot and I'm vague). Looking to get any advice as this is a large opportunity in my life. Thank you :)
