Mega fund summer analyst intern interview need help

Tomorrow I have first round phone interview with a mega fund think (KKR, BX, Apollo) for their leveraged credit SA intern position. This will be my first interview with a PE firm and am looking for general advice on how to prepare. What should I for sure have down? What are they looking for in these first round screenings? Is the LBO portion of BIWS Guide enough? All advice is welcomed. Thank you all in advance.

If it's tomorrow I wouldn't bother prepping any further. Just be well rested and have a clear mind.
