    For CC I was told they only take into account your VI and not your whole application overall. I’m guessing they look at all your VI answers holistically so if two are brilliant and one is slightly less good you should be okay I think

    It cuts off at two minutes. You can end before the two minutes but you can’t go above that. It’ll stop automatically once the time runs out.
