The greater your academic performance, the better the university's metrics will be. For this reason, the interviewers want to choose pharmacy students who will be diligent in their studies and perform well on exams.
Perhaps you create your own study aids or prefer to prepare for exams in a group setting. Whatever your approach, take the time to walk the interviewers through your process while providing as much detail as possible.

"I am an organized student and have devised a plan that works well for me. When I prepare for an exam, I map out the content I need to learn and divide that content over the number of days I have to prepare. When I create a study calendar, I leave the final three days leading up to the exam to review the entire library of content. I am a big fan of study aids, as I believe they work much better than simply reading and re-reading the materials. Aids such as flashcards are much more helpful than highlighting my notes. I also create practice problems and, when possible, will pair up with another student to test each other in written form or verbal lightning rounds. My approach has been successful so far, as reflected in my overall GPA."

There is no wrong answer to this question; everyone prepares for exams differently. However, if you do not have a systematic approach to studying for exams, the interviewers will feel you are a disorganized student and may pass you over for another candidate.
