Technicals advice - Incoming Sophomore

Hey guys, I am an incoming sophomore at a target and I want to equip myself with knowledge on the technicals needed for IB this summer. I am sorry if this question has been asked before, but could y'all please advise me which all technicals/modeling I should spend time learning this summer? Do I gotta learn all - valuation, modeling, LBO, DCF? I would really appreciate if someone who recruited recently could share their experience and advise which all technicals would be tested during recruiting. Additionally, if you have any suggestions for books/guides apart from the 400 technicals Q&A, I would appreciate if you could please share those too. Thanks!
