I had the same problem with these questions. Then one day a recruiter said to me, "kageneko, your engineering skills are on top, but your question answering is really bad. I think it would help if you wrote down some questions and answers beforehand."

So, I did. I tried to remember every question every recruiter had asked me (and started taking notes from then on). I wrote down 1-2 paragraph answers for each question. I found that just the act of writing down these answers and reviewing them later helped even when the interviewer would ask questions that were not on my practice sheet. It would nudge my memory and keep things fresh and a lot of things could be used for related topics.
