Interview advice

Now college is over I’ve got an interview for a QA position in London. The interview is tomorrow morning at 10am and I'll be there for three hours. It will consist of three 40 minute testing sessions and then one 20 minute interview. I've done about four months of QA work at a local studio previously which I thoroughly enjoyed. My interview there consisted of talking to the producer about previous software testing work I'd done and then being tested by one of the artists about various techniques (normal mapping, shadows etc.). I keep getting paranoid that I won't find anything when doing the testing sessions tomorrow. I also have no idea what games they will be. I'm guessing they will be games made specifically with bugs/errors for us to pick up on at the interview. Has anyone else been to this type of interview before? It's really hot over here at the moment and while I was out today I just couldn't stop sweating. I bought some light trousers to keep me cool tomorrow and was planning on taking a spare t-shirt to change into after travelling (the tube gets hot). Anyone have any other tips to avoid getting all hot and sweaty? I'd appreciate any advice you could post my way. [smile] Thanks in advance.

Even if you can't find any bug, aren't testers allowed to voice their opinion regarding the design? "I like the wall darker because I want to see bla bla bla" etc. Just be comfortable.
