Here are a few suggestions I've made to people and been told were helpful.

Write a brief synopsis of everything that you have been doing (Personal Statement). Make a couple of copies to take with you for the Rabbi and yourself and anyone else who may be present during this interview. Save this on you pc and make addendums as necessary.

  1. Why you want to be a Jew 
  2. Your religious background 
  3. What was your first experience with Judaism
  4. What has led you to want to convert
  5. Books that you have read and what you learned from them (I have an excel spreadsheet I did this on)
  6. What you perceive as hurdles in your path 
  7. How you plan to overcome them 
  8. Family responses to this decision or why you haven't talked to your family yet and what you expect their reaction to be
  9. What are your plans for commitment...i.e. move to an Orthodox community, keep laws of Kashrut, keeping Shabbat 
  10. How will you respond to anti-Semitism 
  11. How you plan to continue studies including Hebrew 

  12. Involvement in you community

  13. What do you think you can offer the Jewish people - how will they benefit from your conversion?

The Rabbi will realize that you are nervous, for he has interviewed many folks.
