What can I do to prepare myself for an Oxbridge interview?

Firstly, familiarise yourself with your personal statement, there is a possibility that you may be asked a question about something you have specifically mentioned. You should have a general awareness of what you have talked about as well as an understanding of any literature or theories within it. Secondly, it is particularly useful to consider what is included in your specific course at Oxford or Cambridge, it is likely that the tutors may ask you something to test how you would cope with the course. Additionally, look at what the tutors specialise in at the college you have applied for, from this you can get some idea of what they may pick up on in your personal statement, or possibly ask you in interviews. Thirdly, for some subjects, such as the humanities, it is useful to keep up to date with world news and current affairs so you can draw on these in your responses. Fourthly, you need a general understanding of your a-level courses, however, revising it all wholly and specifically before you have your interview will not help you as much as working on your lateral thinking and the way in which you can apply themes in your courses to current affairs or topical questions. Finally, look at some past Oxbridge questions online, this will give you some understanding of the sort of things which they may ask as well as not being thrown when something seems "off-the-wall" or confusing - get someone (a parent, teacher, friend?) to test you on a couple just to work on your interview skills, allow yourself time to think , don't get too stressed and rush into answers. Remember, particularly in humanities, there is usually no real right answer!
