CLO analyst interview

Hi all! I recently got a first round interview invite to a PE firm for a CLO analyst type role. I'm currently a sophomore in college and was recruiting for sales & trading so I was surprised by this invite. I have 2 days until this interview, and have no idea anything about credit. I was wondering what you guys recommend I should prepare for this interview. They say it's a mix of behavioral and technical. I wasn't sure if i should be studying up on IB technicals or what type of technicals they may be. 

Please let me know what yall think!!
