In fact, if you summarise well and respond to earlier points to bring together the answer in a logical way, it can look very strong!Trying to "secure" second place could actually backfire if it looks forced or overly strategic - you might be viewed as not working well in a team if you are overly stubborn on a specific slot. A more natural way to approach it is:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Suggest early on: "Shall we quickly decide who covers which section?"</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Volunteer for a section that you feel confident in</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If no one coordinates, stepping up to structure the order for your team can show leadership</li> </ul>Remember that they are assessing how you operate in a team - therefore, a calm and thoughtful contribution at the end is far better than a rushed or generic one in the middle <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
