The interviewers simply want to get to know you, they are not trying to tear you apart. Just be friendly and be yourself. ALWAYS email your interviewers later that day, thanking them for their time.

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at SDN questions, but also came up with my own. But, there really isn’t a great way to prepare. Know yourself and why you chose the field of pharmacy. Look up current events in pharmacy in case you want to strike a conversation with your interviewers. But honestly, I would glance over some questions and mostly focus on yourself and your journey to pharmacy school.
