Typical MMI like questions. I prepped looking at free online sample MMI questions and felt that the interview day uses similar type questions. Didn't feel like any questions were unfair. The interviewer also asks follow-up questions so don't worry about needing to talk for the entirety of the duration from your initial answer!
