These are good Questionaire and Answers.
One thing you need to be certain of is that Questions Usually comes from your DS160
Give direct response. Do not elongate your answers with something that would trigger the consulate to ask you a question.
For example, if your Mom is sponsoring you.

Question: Who is sponsoring your education .
Answer: My Mom.

The Consular didn't ask for the name cos he or she already saw that in your DS 160 and you stated that it's ur mom.

Later they might ask again that, " Oh you said your Aunty would be sponsoring you right "

If you're not careful you might yes and that's a red flag

Consulate believes you have done research about the school, heritage, history, and the city more why you choose the school.

They belived you have a future plane with what you want to study. All the Best
