    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    From what I can remember they ask three questions, you are able to take your time between questions I think and can regroup a bit before starting the next.Once you start each question I think you have 30 seconds to think before they record each answer.
