Absolutely not. Know what all the lights mean, know what the switches do. Know your memory items. Don't offer too much information in your responses, just answer the question. If you don't know something, stop, say "I don't recall, but I know where to look it up." Just like you would do in the aircraft.
Make sure you can work through a TLR and weight and balance though...otherwise you'll get started on the wrong foot.
Oral questions have a little bit different "feel" to them compared to the systems test questions.
For example:
Under what conditions will the HP Bleed Valve open?
The HP HIGH light is on, what has happened and what could have caused it?
What is the purpose of Bottom Governing?
What does the L STBY PRESS light mean, and what can cause it to come on?
Things like that
