Good LBO financial modeling resources for MF PE interview

Hello,

I would like to prepare myself for the interview process at a MF, and I am getting overwhelmed. I am not sure what technical questions they will ask, but I have read a few posts on here saying that there will be a 1-hour LBO model or 3-hour LBO model.

To prepare for that, do you suggest WallStreet Prep? I went through the training with them and their LBO session seems detailed. Or would you recommend a better source?

For technical questions, can you point me to the right thread on here, if there is one, which details how to prepare for the technical questions?

Thank you!
