    2 mins seems like a long time! Did people find that they used all of the time? I’m going to do mine tonight and it’s my first interview :eek:

    omg wtf. I was preparing all evening, then just clicked the link now and it has expired?? They explicitly stated in the email the deadline was 11:59 pm.

    There must be some error because that's so unfair.
