Internship Interview help

I recently got an interview for a "Investment bank internship", the job description seemed very vague so I am confused on how to prepare myself for the interview. I would be assisting the transaction department at a small M&A/Private placement focused firm. Other than learning LBO and keeping up with markets what other stuff should I focus on to do better at the interview? This will be my first finance related job so I appreciate all the help
