Interview for DTV

I plan to apply for DTV soft power and hope to get it in one go, but it seems that some people have been interviewed. 

For the people who have been interviewed, what kind of questions are asked during the interview?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The primary focus during the DTV (Long-Term Resident) visa interview is on the applicant's future plans after the course ends. A crucial question often asked is "What will you do after your course ends?" This response can significantly impact the duration of the visa granted, potentially affecting whether you receive a 6-month or 5-year visa.

Most important question to get right is What will you do after your course ends? Can determine you getting a 6mth or 5 year visa
