Had my interview yesterday, Honolulu DO. It mostly consists of going over your entire application question by question, and checking that the answers you give under oath match what is on your application. I was asked some more detailed information which hadn't been mentioned on the application.
The interview ended with the tests of reading, writing and civics, which were quick and painless. (One sentence to read, one sentence to write, and six questions straight from the study booklet. The interviewer stopped at six, since I answered everything correctly)
I had my interview last week, and took my oath yesterday. I could have taken oath same day, but I requested a few days later for work scheduling issues. The IO had no problem honoring my request, and asked me which date I wanted.

Having benefited a lot by reading all the posts here, just want to share my experience to benefit others.
I went there at 7, just in case 1 hour earlier. Office opens officially at 7:30, but security let me in. The office is on 4th floor, but they let me in because we had 4 month old baby. So durin security check you are checked like in airport, I took off shoes and family members too.
We went and there is reception and I checked in my additional evidence.
I think it will be different with each people. In my case, all three times were different.
The officer usually did a small talk with me while going to the room from the hall asking me about the weather and other information which was not listed in application from my previous state where I lived and how I liked it here. IMO, I took that in good and bad way. Good way in the sense, that he wanted me to feel comfortable and bad way, like as if he is saying, I already know everything about you. So, its a mixed bag.
This week I went for my oath ceremony and I am now officially a US Citizen.
The process was very smooth overall.
My only beef is that for the interview I had to go to Holtsville and for the oath I had to go to Central Islip. I live in Queens and I don't drive so getting to those places was a major issue.
Here's my N400 timetable:
