However, if your answers drift, you repeat points, or you take a while to actually answer this question, this might be riskier.A good rule of thumb that I followed is to aim for around 2-2.5 minutes for motivational questions (e.g. ”why law” and “why this firm”) and 1.5-2 minutes for competency questions. It helps to follow a clear structure to keep you on track, such as STAR! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
