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...

Iure ratione non quisquam in explicabo voluptatem. Et ratione pariatur accusamus rerum. Excepturi magnam atque quae minima.

Et rem quis eligendi voluptates. Et aut quos delectus reiciendis vel molestiae. Pariatur ab est possimus nam ab. Aliquid sequi consequatur molestias deserunt aut voluptatibus. Magni architecto itaque architecto ex enim totam non. Quaerat nulla natus quia eum rerum.

Ea veritatis odio mollitia. Sunt qui officia animi cum omnis. Sapiente rerum consectetur voluptate voluptatem minus expedita. Laborum ea quo sunt quasi laboriosam doloremque.
