Could I ask how many questions there are in the Hill Dickinson VI? Also am I right that the time taken to complete the test section doesn't impact the score? And just curious, how long ppl usually spend preparing each VI question in amberjack VIs with unlimited preparation time?

Apparently, depending on the stage reached, the feedback varies.
- if you reached 1st stage OA: its about spelling mistakes etc
- if you reached 2nd stage OA: its about your motivations etc
- if you did the OD: its some bs on Forage and work experience

IMO its automated based on which pile you were - not entirely sure tho just witnessing a trend here.
Did not do the OD but received the Forage/WE feedback.
