learn how to LBO in a day?

Interviewing for a lateral position next week and don't have a ton of experience with LBOs. I know what they are, why they're used, who good candidates of an LBO are, and can do a paper LBO, but I don't have much modeling experience. 

Is it possible to get proficient at it in a day? If so, do you suggest using a specific source like WSP or BIWS?
