Suggestions for best LBO prep resources?

I'll be joining a BB this summer for FT and am trying to wrap my head around LBO modelling over my senior year. Planning on buying Peak Frameworks and the WSO PE course, but am wondering if anyone has other suggestions for prep materials. Have the BIWS guide, Vault guide, Street of Walls guide, and know about the other free resources like Multiple Expansion. Even have my WSP login from this past summer but the LBO course is super dry/tough to sit through (should I be going through this one though?). Will I be fine with the Peak Frameworks and WSO courses, or does anyone have suggestions for other materials that could be useful?

All you really need to do is:

(1) make sure you know how to build a fully linked 3-statement model so you know proper accounting/modeling mechanics

(2) take a 10k of a simple business model, and build an LBO model from scratch; repeat with different companies 3-5x

(3) make sure you get feedback or check models to figure out what you’re doing wrong and are iterating on your knowledge base

 

Do u recommend the wso pack or peak frameworks to have a course?
