What to focus on--last-minute interview

I just got an investment banking phone interview at a reputable MM--it's scheduled for the end of this week.

I am a liberal arts major that was focused almost entirely on preparing for consulting recruiting. To give you a sense of my finance knowledge: I know what a DCF model is but I haven't done one in years.

Given the limited time I have to prepare, what would you guys recommend I focus on to get past the first round? I am considering purchasing the Mergers & Inquisitions interview guide so that I can at least refresh myself re: finance vocabulary.
