PE case study interview tips / advice

I have a case study interview coming up with a generalist, mid-market PE fund in London and was hoping to get some advice on how to approach my prep for it. The case will be unprepared, followed by a debrief session. Is there anyone that has done a similar case study (or any PE case study) who can provide tips on the kind of things I should be looking to pull out from the case (SWOT, PESTEL points etc) / ways I should analyse the case and how to use my preparatory time most effectively. It would also be highly appreciated if anyone could point to any resources I can use for a general case study with a PE.
