Question about FT interviews

Although my work experience is solid (I've won numerous awards and scholarships, recieved great feedback, ect), I'm not sure that I can remember much about my roles from two or three summers ago. Thus, I was wondering how well we need to know every bit of detail about the jobs that our on our resume. I had an internship the summers before my first and second years of college, and although I clearly did well, I'm not sure I can answer too much about them.

Do interviewers grill the shit out of you for every detail of past internships, or do they just want to know that you still remember the basics. I'm afraid that I'll loose credibility if I start saying things like "uh, i don't remember exactly..." to every question. Thoughts?

are you going to believe me if i tell you it's ok to forget about past internship? no.

credits are given to those who can present their experiences well. so welcome to the competition, know everything that you did inside and out. and yes you will lose your credibility if you can't say a thing about your experience.
