No "gotcha" tricks, cooperate with the interviewer and everything you need to solve the questions will be there if you've got the fundamentals. Questions were fun and much more satisfying to solve than typical interviews.
Your recruiter should send you some helpful prep materials to read, but if you haven't learned the stuff before it might pay to dig deeper.
