Resources for practicing modeling software companies?

Hey guys, I'm interviewing with a $1B aum SM for an associate role out of banking. I have a little over a year of experience on the sell-side in TMT coverage, but my firm's modeling process is heavy on using templates. The next round is a case study / modeling test and I'm trying to get some reps in ahead of getting the case study. It's software-focused. 

I'm somewhat comfortable building a full operating model, but not as well versed in a bookings / billings / rev / deferred rev build. 

Would appreciate suggestions on how to approach prep / some thoughts on resources I should check out. I've been focusing on the BIWS case study for Atlassian, but don't think I'll be prepped if I only do this model. 

Thanks in advance
