Preparing together for quant interviews

I have a quant dev interview on January 19. Would anybody be able to help me prepare by role-playing as the interviewer for example? In return, I can help the same person prepare. For example, we could meet on skype for a 2 hour session, each taking turns to be the interviewer and interviewee. This type of practice interviewing is done all the time for software engineer and software developer positions. Maybe quants could learn from this?

Is anyone interested?

Jan 19, ok, now it would be too short term...
Of course there are number of questions (a good reference is e.g. FAQ in Quantitative Finance by Wilmott). However, more or less standard questions are not the only scenario.
They may ask you e.g. to name all stocks you know from Dow Jones (to see whether you have a genuine interest to finance). I recently took part in interviews an asked candidates to tell me about their thesis. Thus, though preparing will never hurt, first of all, be youself

P.S.
But yes, you have to know by heart how to derive the BS-Formula ;)
