My 2 cents having worked in Fed Gov for 31 plus years (now retired):
1. Get a copy of job description and qualification. Study them.
If the job requires dealing with clients/public, there may be scenario questions on how to deal with sticky situations such as uncooperative attitude, aggressive behaviour, violence etc. Remember, tact is most important.
2. Do not be afraid to ask clarifying questions if you do not totally understand the question asked. No points deducted in this case.
3. Understand the department you are applying for the job, its mission statement, organization structure. You may be able to get it on the web.
4. Depending on the nature and level of the position, there may be a case study exam. The higher the level, the more involved. Years ago, I had a in-basket exercise which required you to clear miscellaneous actions, memos etc in your in basket. But that's for a manager position. I found out that there was no right or wrong answers. Thinking too much or indecision actually is worse than making a less than perfect action.
5. Other than technical questions, questions on Personal Suitability are equally important. Refer to 1.
I hastily assembled the above. There may be more. I'll post them when I have more.

Agree with above.
I am involving with current-team interview of co-op students and new employee hiring.
We are looking for people with developed soft skill either through academic or industry. We believe technical skills are trainable and we can train technical skills if the newhire have the required softskill to acquire them.
We are also looking for the logical presentation of your answer. Interview usually will give you pen and paper along with the questions to study for about 10-15 minutes before the actual interview starts. The flow of your answer is VERY important, of course the content must be relevant. Always ask yourself: "Why I have that answer?", "What fact(s) can support your answer."
Hope that helps, but if you have particular questions that you are seeking help on. Please QQH me. I am more than willing to help.
I helped a couple of people in this forum to prepare interview(no charge of course) and they are happily working in the government now
