LBO financial modelling test coming up in 4 days, which resources are best to prepare?

I have no prior experience with LBO's or PE and just know the basics. I watched some tutorials on youtube and practiced the PE interview questions here on WSO. The financial modelling interview is going to last 3 hours, and it's for an internship position in PE.  I have 16 hours per day to prepare (on vacation right now), so around 60 hours in total. Which resources, paid or free, will prepare me the best.
