How do you practice talking about your deals for an interview?

Hi guys:

I'm curious on how you practice talking about your deals for PE interviews? For a variety reasons, one probably can't talk about past deals in a very in-depth way with friends/those who are not on the deal...so how did you guys practice it? I feel like talking about it and hearing questions from others can help me deepen my understanding / making sure I didn't miss any aspects.

Thanks!
