> Take the time to outline answers to the common behavioral questions (“tell me about a conflict you had with a coworker” etc.) and practice talking through them, so you have examples at your fingertips.

This is good advice, but do not try to predict the question in advance, just tell a story you were going to tell anyway. Meaning, you should have 3-5 stories about accomplishments you made or problems you solved, stories you can reel off easily in 1-2min without uhh-ing to remember details, and when they ask a "Tell me about a time when..." question, just pick whichever one comes closest and tell it.
