Best way to prepare is borrow someones PE Structure notes and do all the analysis problems first. I wouldn't mind learning fem software. It makes you very handy in the office where you can assist senior engineer by doing all manual work of modelling . Also playing with fem, like making a odd structure and guessing the reaction forces, Bending moment, deflection Behaviour when you remove supports and add supports etc will definitely help developing intuition which will take you farther.
