If a VI lasts 30 minutes and it is divided in competency, motivational and scenario questions, does this mean that each section includes 10 questions? It seems a lot, sorry but kind freaking out for the interview!

Does anyone know if Linklaters have started sending out winter vac scheme AC invites?
I did see that someone receive an invite from them on here but having said that, if previous years are anything to go by, it's still very early doors for them. I noticed on the Links application thread from last year that most people didn't start hearing back until early November, so I wouldn't be too pessimistic just yet! :)
