Not different times, same time for each each question, but as it went so fast not sure if it was 1min 30 secs or 2mins :) . Yes, it’s just the three questions and you have the practice one at the start.
It was only 1 min 30 seconds just to confirm - really surprised me how little time I had to prepare so be aware for those who haven't done it 😬

    Thank you. This helps☺️. Would you say it was difficult? I hate pre recorded interviews.. talking to a screen! Haha
    I didn't find the actual questions difficult but it was hard preparing in 15 seconds and then trying to limit myself to the 1min 30sec time period
    I would say it was one of the easier video interviews ive done

    Thank you so much - I always fail at the VI hurdle and this is really encouraging. Thank you again and best of luck!

    Hey,

    I just finished it. There was one question about Kennedys and the others were more strengths-based questions. Not sure if this is the same for everyone else but I hope it helps.
    Thanks so much for clarifying! Best of luck with it :)
