What sources are the best to learn about options market making?

I received a graduate trader offer from Mako London office. I have a few months before I start working so I was wondering what books/websites/simulations are the best to prepare for the job. I started reading Option Volatility and Pricing by Natenberg but I’m also looking for a more hands on resources (such as a simulation or tutorial). And considering they asked many mental maths questions, I assume it is an important part of the job. Should I put in extra effort to get faster and more accurate in mental math too? Could you please advise?
