Secondaries Prep / Resources

Prepping for secondaries interviews (and currently in a few processes). Despite saying they want people with IB backgrounds, I am finding that the level of technical knowledge of secondaries required to pass these interviews seems a bit high (as if I should know this or came from secondaries). Been trying to watch youtube, read articles, read Evercore / Jefferies primers, and use chat gpt to put together study guides... Does anyone know of any guides out there, modeling templates, or other resources to prep for these interviews? Any advice as well is welcomed and helpful!
