Urgent - SA Interview with TAP Advisors

I was just told I have an SA interview with TAP Advisors early next week. From what I’ve heard from upperclassmen and a few posts on here, their technical screen is pretty tough.

I know basic accounting and basic corporate finance, but basically know nothing about advanced accretion/dilution, paper LBOs, and niche line items in the 3 statements. My interview is being scheduled for early next week (probably Monday). Am I cooked? What do I do this weekend? I plan to work for 48 hours on technicals.
