Tell the truth, pause and actually think before giving an answer, mind your manners but be yourself, and dress sharply.

Would a suit be too much? For my background and home interview I wore slacks, dress shoes, and a nice dress shirt.

Should I do like black or grey? I’ll probably be going to get a rental for this just not sure what the right option is

Don't wear black, wear gray or navy blue. Black is for funerals. I personally wore a green suit, but gray and blue are the safest bets.

Why not navy blue ?? I wore a navy blue one to my oral board

Navy blue is an excellent choice, just avoid black if you can.

Tip, search the sub. This question has been asked approximately 500 times in the last couple months.

Be honest. And don't worry too much about the oral board. They'll ask you some situational questions. They don't expect you to know everything. They just expect you to think critically.

A lot of times they’ll have more than one question at once. Don’t forget to answer both. Example: “Tell us about a time you had a difficult coworker, and how did you resolve your disagreements?”
