Hi! Thank you so much for your response. I have a few other questions —

(i) Does the VI include questions that are more technical/practical (e.g. can they give you a situation and ask you to analyse it)? Or does it include basic questions or competency-based questions?
(ii) What is usually included in the "written exercise"?
