i) Equipped yourself with some business domain like banking,insurance etc.
ii) Learn any technolgoy which we use to prepare case studies like Rational suit etc. it's not mandatory but it will help you in launching yourself.
iii) Expertise yourself in Word,Excel,Power point, Visio, MS-Project as these are the tools used in day to day activities.
iv) Find any case study on internet and go through some Business Requirement documents(BRD) as you need to prepare the same.
v) Equipped yourself with some technologies falvour as well it will help you in coordinating with development teams and conveying your requirements clearly and understanding their difficulties as well.
vi) Study some effort estimation techniques like FPA etc. as you need to know to prepare effort estimation as part of your job.
Last but not the least also go through testing terminologies as you need to do testing yourself and involed with users, also communication is Big factor as you will be communicated with Business users and markets and senior management.
I hope this will help you and you can get case studies on internet.
