    It was a mix of motivational / competency for me, but you might get a CA focused question so I’d prep for that too just incase, as well as the competencies they mention in the email☺️

    They tell you in the email exactly what competencies they’ll be asking questions on so I was able to prep fully for 2/3 then only got thrown off by 1 Q, but only because I used all the good facts for the Q before. I’m a bit of a waffler though so not too sure how I did overall. B&B has been so...
