2016 SA Interview Questions

I was lucky enough to get a bunch of SA 1st round interviews (OCR). I've been studying the guides, and I feel like I know the valuation, accounting, and finance concepts pretty well. My question is how well should I be expected to know the intermediate and advanced levels? Also, will I be expected to know currencies, bonds, and options info. from the guides? Obviously the more I know the better, but I'm interested in hearing what's generally asked in interviews. Thanks for any responses.
