IB interview crash course for SA

Hi, I have an interview coming up for a summer internship at ft partners. I was expecting to have my interview next week; however, I got one scheduled the day after tomorrow.

I have been through some of the m&I guide and also have the wso guide. Also I know how a comp and dcf analysis work and have a good idea about how the 3 statements work and are connected. But I still feel far from being fully prepared. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I should study/use in the next two days to maximise preparation? Thanks

It’s supposed to be a 30 minute phone interview
