ABS interview

I have an awesome opportunity to lateral into an analyst role in ABF/ABS at a BB, but I'm worried that I'll face more technical (and ABS specific) questions than other, likely younger, candidates. I really don't want to blow this. I've been practicing modeling and the question guides for a while, but I'd really like to review some concepts that are more ABF/ABS specific.

Can anyone provide some insight?

Read a methodology from a rating agency, pick an asset class you're interested in (ex:auto loans), and read a few pre-sale reports. Pre-sal;e reports are pretty thorough and are free. Rating Agencies also cover market trends, so look for market updates on their websites. 

ABS is too technical to just learn it all for an interview, but the above is a great start.
