What can I do to prepare for a trading interview I am completely unqualified for in one day?

I have one and a half days to prepare for an interview for a sales/trading internship position. They invited me to interview (I presume) because I got a good score on the Bloomberg Aptitude Test (and maybe because I also have a small stock portfolio). However, I am not really qualified for this job at all having never studied any finance/economics. I am already assuming that they will not hire me but nonetheless I would like to give it my best as a learning experience. Any advice on what I should be learning/practising in the time I have?
