Process
The best advice to anyone would be to study. Specifically, focus on performance troubleshooting and monitoring.
The coding section is what got me. The systems portion, I was prepared for. I ultimately ran out of time on the coding part.
It wasn't too hard, I just wasn't prepared.
Questions
You will be asked to break down things like the vmstat outputs and iostat outputs, etc.
