How to prepare for my first IB internship?

I’m starting an internship at a MM firm (within a sector team) in a few months, and I want to be as prepared as possible for it.

Any advice based on your experience, whether as an intern or in managing interns, is highly appreciated. Interested in: 1. Recommended materials or resources to study beforehand 2. Key skills to improve 3. Best practices for behaviour and attitude
