2. Other First Impressions

There's one thing that interviewers usually look out for and that's your handshake. By shaking your hand, the interviewer can make a decent guess about your character. A firm handshake, with a good grip, denotes confidence while a weak handshake denotes the opposite (of course). But, I'd advise not to overdo it. Firm handshake, but no longer than about 2-3 seconds. If not, you might seem a bit overzealous. So, yeah, handshakes do count and are a pretty good indicator of your confidence level.

Another thing that most people tend to overlook is your walking style. Do you timidly trotter into the room (check out the alliteration - haha), march military style into the room or stride into the room? A good walk, positive, head up and facing the world is usually a good sign. Slouching, dragging your feet, and a very slow walk won't be much good. The cliche term "Keep your head up" is a really useful term though. So, stride into the room, all guns blazing, head up and give your interviewer a firm handshake. Show him or her that you mean business.

I disagree with this. For JPA, you do need to take accountancy for SPM to apply for accountancy. Being in science stream is fine. Do check the official JPA scholarship form for the actual requirements. Do follow the requirements listed, or else, you would not even get the chance to be interviewed.

I think if the interviewer is a woman, and you think that she may not be comfortable to shake hand, do try to offer, but if she does not accept it, do take it back. If you have seen her rejecting hand shake from others, then do not offer your hands.

I fully agree with this interview tip quoted from tinkosong.
