the vault guide has some good stuff to know. S&T interviews depend on your background, interviewer, and the desk you apply for. Most however will be fit based, with mathematical brainteasers thrown in as a shit test. keeping track of current events is another big thing, knowing where major indices, USTs, commodities, currencies are trading at roughly, good stories, trade ideas, etc. more academic questions can be based on capm, bond math, equity pricing (dividend growth model), option pricing, volatility models, etc, but unless you mention them specifically during the interview or on a resume its unlikely you will get a lot of these right off the bat.
nevertheless, the major questions you need to answer are as follows (and these can apply for any division or line of work): are you smart? can you do the work? and do i like you? brian from M&I laid these out very well on his site and the third question is by far the most important. be confident, prepared, and sociable, and you should be fine.

I have my superday on tuesday for sales and trading....what has everyones experience been with these?
i thought superdays were not until february..are they already having interviews for next year's summer analyst class?
im not sure but i have mine for first year analyst on tuesday
oh, i think for full time positions they are now. I was talking about a summer analyst position for college juniors.
The accelerated FT position interviews start now.
Regular FT position interviews start later in the Fall.
is there any difference between the accelerated and regular FT?
