Interview Advice: 1hr M&A Case Study

I have a case study assessment day on Wednesday for a bank's mid-market M&A Industrials team. They've told me the structure will be the following:
• Intro to the Case Study: c.10 mins
• Preparation Time: c.1 hour
• Presentation and Discussion of Results: c.1.5 hours
I'm competent in the theory of why firms would use M&A (both trade and PE), but I'm unsure what I would be expected to prepare in an hour. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate. I’m very nervous because the group with whom I’m interviewing works with life science/tech clients and the attorneys have strong science/tech backgrounds; and I do not. However, I am very, very interested in transitioning to this practice. And I reaaally want this job because it’s at my dream firm. How would you recommend preparing for the lateral interview?

Does anyone have a poor relationship with their alma mater? This can be in general or department specific. For example, I have always felt disappointed with career services from my law school. I feel struggling alumni, like those that failed the bar or remain unemployed long enough to be recorded as negative statistics for the school’s ranking, have already done their damage so they have no incentive to help you any further.

I have 2 weeks until the GMAT and want to raise my quant score from 47 to 48-49. I’m considering using TTP. Which modules are most important to cover for the exam?

Any recommendations on brushing up on PowerPoint?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

I just received an offer to lateral into banking. How does independence affect the stocks I currently own? If I join and my stocks are on a restricted list will I have to sell them? Or will I be limited to being unable to buy more/sell any during the course of my employment.
