Has anyone gone through a Topgrading style interview?

I am scheduled for one soon and have never done one before. Is it similar to a behavioral interview and should my answers basically follow the STAR format?

Would really appreciate any advice or pointers from those who have done this before.

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?
