untimed SJT, timed but non-time-restrained WG test. Doing practice tests could be beneficial beforehand, but also ensuring calmness during the tests.

You got an AC with Akin? If yes when did you complete your TI

sorry can I ask what does "timed but non-time-restrained WG test" mean? Is it timed or untimed but the time you take will be recorded

Congrats! When did you submit your actual application?

Does anyone have any insight into how many questions there are and are they timed (and how many time do we have to prepare for each Q) in the WFW VI? Any insight would be much appreciated!

Hi here is what the website says : "When the interview starts, the four questions will appear on the screen one at a time. You will have 30 seconds to prepare your answer before recording starts. You then have 90 to 120 seconds to record your answer. Once this time elapses you will not be able to re-record."
Good luck!
