Apollo grad interview -- any advice?

Hey, I'm a senior and have an interview coming up with Apollo Management. I know the sourcing-heavy model and what it entails, but I'm wondering what to expect in terms of interview.

Should I be brushing up on hardcore modelling, or do they not care and are looking more for eat-what-you-kill fit? Also, will I be working at the same level as the people who have done their years in IB? Any advice would be much appreciated from anyone who has been there.

Secondly, anyone have any idea of what I'd be looking at as total first year comp?

Thanks
