London IB Analyst Prep for American PE fund

Hello, I am an IB analyst in London, and I have an interview with a U.S. focused PE shop coming up.

I am looking for any advice you may have for prepping for a U.S. PE fund interview. I.e. is there anything specific to the U.S. specific material that I should be looking at or expected to be tested on (above and beyond normal PE questions)

If anyone else has done a similar move as this, I would also be very interested in hearing about your experiences.

Note: there will not be any visa issues

Thanks
