How to self assess

I'm going to an EB in a regional office this summer. I was networking with a few people in my group a few months back and they told me to be proficient in excel modeling, specifically LBO's. I know the sites that people recommend: macabacus, multiple expansion, etc.

My question is, how do I know enough is enough?

My concern is that these models are too watered down, or I'm memorizing the structure of these LBO's, and won't be prepared for a different structure.

Suggestions? Thanks
