Seeking advice to ace behavioral interviews

Hey, I’m a sophomore at a semi-target, and recruiting for IB SA2023 is around the corner.

Overall, the IB recruitment process seems to be pretty formulaic. However, I’m having a hard time acing behavioral interviews in my university’s orgs but technical interviews have all been great.

Besides the 400 questions interview guide, I’m starting to use the Big Interview platform. Do you have any suggestions on how I can ace behaviorals? I think my biggest problem is thinking on my feet.
