First off, you can start by exploring the system design topic courses.

But, it's also not common to have new grad tested for system design, so I would also study and practice on LLD/UML/Class diagrams, in case your question ends up being lower level design for a system.

I'd go through the top ways people fail SD interviews course:

Not staying focused on the problem

Insufficient communication

Not driving the design
