What to expect from off-cycle MF PE technical interview rounds?

Hi all, currently preparing an off-cycle MF PE interview. One of my first rounds includes a 30 minute technical interview in addition to the standard model test + debrief before.

Any ideas on how to prep and what to expect? Tbh I always have the most fear of these due to the ambiguity and not really knowing exactly what to study
