3 interviews in 2 months? Seriously? You must be really lucky or the company must be desperately looking to hire someone. From what I know after working at Amazon for 4 years, you have to wait for 6 months before you get another crack at it.

Anyhoo, try reading head first design patterns to learn the philosophy behind design patterns and how they help object oriented programmers. Try and read about large scale systems such as big table, wikimedia etc. to figure out how large scale systems are built and deployed.
