Seems super obvious so you may not like the advice but just keep practicing. Try working with different LBO model templates (WSP, peak frameworks, CS 45 / 60 min tests, etc) to get comfortable with working on different templates. That’s really all you can do to prepare. During the actual interview maybe spent a minute or two at the beginning understanding how everything flows before jumping in so you get lay of the land. Good luck recruiting
