What content should I know if I'm trying to break into acquisition/brokerage?

I'm doing some interview prep but I'm not sure if I can be more efficient with my studying. I've been reviewing Justin Kivel's Break into CRE bootcamp, and while informative, I feel like I don't need to memorize everything in order to do well in an interview. Which brings me to the question, what do I need to know to get an entry-level job or even an internship in acquisition/brokerage?
