BB sumer internship prep- Will this help my case?

Have a BB IBD summer internship next year, was thinking of doing a quick internship at a small M&A boutique in spring time just to boost my confidence before going to the BB. However I'm not sure of how helpful this may be.

I did one internship at a small M&A boutique this summer and was mostly doing research work, could I best spend the spring time finishing off excel/ ppt courses instead? as well as spending more time on exam prep lol
