Macfarlanes second online assessment- job simulation

I just progressed to the second assessment for Macfarlanes (the job simulation one). If anyone has advice about how to approach that I would be very grateful! I don't know if they just introduced it this year and it confusingly says it is both timed and not timed.
Congratulations for progressing!! That's v exciting hehe.

I have just been invited to complete the second assessment as well and was wondering if you'd be able to share some tips on it/what to expect. Are the video responses to SJT questions or are there also some motivational or strengths based questions. I would rly appreciate the help! :)

Thanks,
T
