Hi Lauren,

Last cycle it was three competency questions, one commercial question and one wildcard question. I say wildcard, because I got asked something along the lines of "Tell us something interesting about yourself" while other people got more typical motivational questions. If I remember correctly you get 30 seconds to prepare and yes it's 1.5 minutes for the actual answer.
