Interview Prep for PE Operations / Financial Consulting roles

Hey guys! As stated in title, prepping for Financial consulting type roles (think rx consulting, PE operations / consulting, Due Diligence, M&A Strategy, etc.)

This will be for a junior year internship (undergrad). Would love to hear thoughts on the most efficient way to go about prep. Would starting with 400 guide / IB prep be the best way to go about it? Casing? Other technicals I might not know about...
