LMM PE Analyst Interview

Hey all, I have a 2-on-1 interview with a Lower Middle-Market PE firm tomorrow that will focus on LBO technicals. I am transitioning from MC and was told since I do not have prior direct experience modeling, I should focus on LBO technicals and that they use multiple of EBITDA to forecast rather than DCFs. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to begin studying or questions to look out for?? I was previously studying DCFs to LBOs and then general PE technical questions but just want to make sure I'm going in the right direction. Thanks all
