You could prepare some difficult, sophisticated-sounding phrases and use them. Something you can easily use without it sounding artificial. It worked well for me on language tests I took.

You could prepare some difficult, sophisticated-sounding phrases and use them.— I'm sorry, but that is a very bad idea. You do not know what they are going to ask you, so you cannot prepare responses. Many of my students have a common weakpoint in interviews: they think too much about what they ought to say and how they ought to say it, so they sit in silence, trying to form perfect sentences in their minds, when what the interviewer wants to hear is their talking at length on the topic.

Use the words you are familiar with. Say what you think offhand about the topic. Add whatever points come to your mind. But talk. Relax and talk: that is what the interviewer is looking for.

No. My advice is not to study anything. It will just get you too tense. It's better to relax.

I realize this advice comes too late for you, but maybe it will help others in the same situation in the future.
