What to expect from 30 minute blind case study interview?

I have made it to the second round of interviews at a MM investment bank and am set to have a 30 minute case study interview (9:00 AM to 9:30 AM) followed by a 2nd 30 minute interview at 10am on Monday. I was wondering what I can expect as this is my first time interviewing for an IB analyst position. I was told not to prepare at all and it will be explained to me. I come from an accounting background and my finance technical knowledges is a bit lacking which I think they can pick up on based on my resume...what's the best way I can prepare? Is this something I will work through while they watch me (zoom interview) or will I complete it on my own? The interview prep course I am taking only has one case study practice that is 30 minutes long and it involves creating a three statement model. 

Any advice on what I can expect/ best way to prepare would be greatly appreciated!
