Startup VC Internship with zero modeling experience. please help

So I landed an internship at a startup VC and I was told to take a financial modeling course to help me. I had to stop halfway through the semester because the course was getting too niche and finals were coming up.

Well, I start in four days and I have no idea how to build a model from scratch.

Does anyone have any idea what I can expect? Is there anything I can do to improve in these next few days?
