I like to add it’s good to demonstrate curiosity and interest in finance, but it’s more important to be honest about your lack of experience, there are context only understood by people who have been in the industry for decades and you can’t pick them up from a video or blog, and it’s ok to not known, but giving textbook answer is less well perceived than humility itself.

Don’t you worry. They need you more than you need them. You will pick it up in less than 3 months. But go on YouTube. Go onto the major banks pages e.g JPM, Citi, etc and get a couple of points from the Global Markets department. Again, do not stress.
