I've never studied for an interview but I don't see any correlation between being able to smash the technical tests and getting hired.
In fact I think that often scoring 100% on the technical has hurt me because they believed my ability outscopes the role they're hiring for. (though they won't hire me for a senior role because I'm too young, eurgh.)
EDIT: In fact I think the best correlated factor has been applying for jobs where I'm apparently not qualified enough, the companies that decide to interview me anyway are:
- Willing to assess me not $YEAR - $GRADUATED
- Struggling for candidates

Specific people might care if it comes up but not enough to make a point of it. They're generally perfectly happy to hire you based on your interview performance.
