Emphasis group activities. It is crucial that you are able to work with others in this business. Whilst technical skills are important, they can be largely learnt by doing the job. What takes years to develop is social ability. Do you work well with others? Can you accommodate other people's needs? How do you navigate situations when a group-member is not pulling their weight?
In order to prepare for this, get involved in group-based activities. Theatre, team-sports, group-tasks at school/uni.

To be yourself, stay calm and to come with confidence as EY wants the best outcome for you. I would recommend in order to prepare is to have a good background story that takes in all aspects of your life including high school, university and personal hobbies as it is your current journey.

Be yourself. This sounds like common sense, but it is often advice that potential candidates do not follow.
Every consultant+ I have met is different to each other. They all have different personalities, work styles, and hobbies which they have outside of work. The commonality they all share is that they bring their personality to work in a genuine way rather than putting on an image that isn't real.
This is something you should aspire to do as well. Learn how to bring your real personality to work and balancing that in a professional way. This will give you a huge confidence boost and help you in any application you complete including at EY.

Most places will ask, "Why do you want to work at [firm name]?" Prepare a sincere and considered answer. This means you will have to spend some time to get to understand the business that you're applying at, in order to collate a genuine answer that you can support. It is hard to know exactly why it is I was offered my job, but I think that at least part of it was because when I gave the answer to that question, I meant it. That is to say, even if I didn't receive an offer, I would have applied again to another part of the business. Because I wanted to work at EY. I think this was felt in my interview; 'I want to work here and let me tell you why!'
