How do I prepare for Insight Partners FT recruiting process?

For context, I have an upcoming 2023 SA IB offer that I am excited about, but to do PE out of undergrad at a good firm is ideal. Much of my time has been spent preparing for investment banking interviews, so I am not sure what else I have to study for. I am trying to read up on tech investing, and learn the basics of LBOs, but I'm not sure if this is the right plan. Would be great if anybody familiar with the Insight FT process could point me toward what to study/read up on technically.

I have been reading a Corporate Finance textbook, Investments by Bodie, and an accounting textbook just to broaden my view and solidify fundamentals - not particularly for interviews but in general preparation for finance roles and for curiosity's sake.
