Preparing for a corporate banking summer analyst interview?

I have a first round interview for corporate banking at CIBC for tomorrow, and I have no idea how to prepare? Any suggestions?

As a side note, is this position even worth it? I have more interest in the IB/PE space, and am currently going into my second year, so I've been more focused on just trying to secure any finance internship for the summer between my 2nd and 3rd year. Would this internship be a worthwhile summer experience, or should I focus on trying to acquire an internship in the IB/PE space?
