1 week to study for SA IB at boutique?

As the title says, I have about a week (~7-12 days) to study for an interview at a very small boutique that focuses primarily on private mm ecm and dcm. I haven't had much in terms of formal finance classes yet, only accounting 1,2 and econ 1,2,3 plus some other basics.

What should I study the hardest to get a solid foundation of the basics? I just feel like it's not enough time to master the 400 questions...

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
