Incoming 27 IB in SF, should I practice modelling?

Got my offer a few weeks ago for an EB tech group in San Fran, really hyped about it. I’m hoping to learn a ton, but want to make sure I prepare accordingly before hitting the desk. My interview was relatively easy, mostly along the lines of “how’s your dad doing” and “is he still good for 18 holes next week?”, and then a few hard technical questions like what is EBITDA and what are the three financial statements

Given I want to make a good impression, should I take a course to practice modelling? I have some experience making budget statements for my university ski club, so Im confident in excel. I’m thinking more so advanced concepts that my school (Arizona State) doesn’t cover. Any tips are well appreciated!!
