Prep material for AC?

I had my first ever AC day at a US firm recently and got the rejection today. It was my first time doing a law firm AC and found it quite tricky, having never done anything like that before. I was fine with the competency but I wasn't really sure what the strategies should've been for the Competition case study (group exercise) or the discussion surrounding a fictional contract for a record company client.

Where can I find practice materials to prep for these?
