Research the company. Find out exactly what they do and what they're looking for. If it's a big enough company and you're good at disguising your voice, call and ask to speak with someone in HR. Say you heard about the position and are interested in applying, ask what sort of experience/background they are looking for, answer everything with "yes" and "of course" to keep them talking and make sure to ask about benefits/work environment to make it seem benign.

Research the skills they say they want, get familiar with the concepts of things you don't know, and learn how to relate that to your own experience.

Example question - What experience do you have with -xyz-? (assuming -xyz- is something you have no experience with)

Example answer - I'm familiar with -xyz- (true because you researched it) although I've worked mostly with -abc- (your experience that most closely relates) when I've done -zzz- (task that most resembles what you'll be doing in the position you're applying for), but if I were to work with -xyz- I would...(explain basic concepts of -xyz- that would be appropriate to accomplishing the task).

I'm actually disturbingly good at job interviews, so if you want to give me a random question I can give you a random answer and prove that you can say wonderful things while having absolutely no idea what you're talking about (: But mostly you just want to do a lot of research into exactly what they want, then figure out how to say the things that will make it appear that you are the person they want.

he already said lying wasn't an option then claiming he doesn't know refering to saying an incorrect answer to fit what they want to hear rather than what he is actually able to do

so i said to delay the question and let him have more time to think about it

critical thinking is pointless if they think he's an unqualified

he also could ask them to give a better detailed question it's another way to aid him to correctly answer rather than blatantly not knowing

AND THAT IS critical thinking PARTIALLY TRUE! if he delays it to give him more time and to get more details from them so he can give a more honest answer

though lying your ass off can get you in a job but maintaining it is going to need more effort (he would have to study what he lied about)

that works too but what if they research him.. and discover a lie on his facebook or anything else or school history

well atleast my advice was better than richards "lol say you got no experience" sentence    D:

that's no proof you are good at job interviews you're just lying though how you lied is how he should answer their questions

Research the company. Find out exactly what they do and what they're looking for...

Research the skills they say they want, get familiar with the concepts of things you don't know...

I assume you've already done this step, if you have submitted a resume for a specific position and been successfully screened for an interview. I'd also hope the job description/posting outlined the position and responsibilities. You obviously are qualified or you wouldn't get an interview, no?   

That being said, I agree with Hyper about doing as much research as possible on the company so you can strongly answer why you want to work for them and show you are motivated.   

I know about the company. The job description was vague and clearly written by some HR drone that doesn't know much about computers. I had a phone screen with someone from HR and it was just to make sure I didn't have a problem moving(the job is in another state), how much I wanted, etc.

The interview is in 30 minute chunks, each with a different person. I'm thinking that they'll spend a couple of minutes talking about themselves and the job, ask a couple of simple questions, one big one, and then I'll wait a few more minutes for the next person.

I don't think I'll have much of a problem stretching my answers out so they eat up time, but it's impossible to know everything and I'd say it's 50/50 that they'll ask something I don't know.

Nah, Dex. if they ask a question they want an answer, lol. Not everyone will have experience in everything and recruiters know that, but you want to give a socially appropriate response that communicates critical thinking, work effort and team work. Make 'em like you, you generally get the job. ;) 

I think you nailed it with this.
