How to comprehensively prepare for full-time IB?

I'm joining an EB as a generalist this summer. All my holidays for the next 2 months have been cancelled, so I figure I may as well spend the time trying to make the transition to IB a bit less painful.

I'm well-versed in PPT from my internship (lol), but how else should I prepare for FT? ATM I'm thinking - studying from finance/accounting textbooks, practising with the models on Macabus, etc...
