What are your general comments?
Plan out some answers to commonly asked questions, don't rehearse them, just know what you want to say. Be ready for them to test you, as in challenging your answers, testing how far they can keep probing in a topic, and playing devil's advocate. They seemed to want to test my maturity and my ability to handle stress.
