You can just leave and come back. I've tried the practise questions a few times.

You can do them as many times as you want and 'exit Interview' then return
What did everyone who has done the interview wear?
Just did mine, yikes!!!
My nerves will be wrecked now until we hear back.
Anyone know when we hear from UU?
Seen Qub is May.
They should give you more time for the first Question to get used to the process and because it's a meaningful question 🧐
Definitely wasn't expecting the latter Q either. Aah well, I'm glad its done with. Good luck to everyone!!

A peach blouse type top. That's all they could see lol.
I don't think all that will even be taken into account tbh as its video interviews. Different if it was in person
I don't really feel as if I could have even prepared better if I had have known the questions, it really was a use all you know and think on the spot to give your best answer, type of questions.
I would advise anyone who's worried or over thinking it to go ahead and do it, it manageable and you will more than likely come off less nervous and more natural if you go and do it, instead of overthinking yourself into a worry. That's what I ended up doing. Any longer I probably would have exited halfway through with anxiety of all the info I sucked in the days prior haha. It's fine to do. Best of luck

Can I just ask (if you’re allowed to say that is) how many minutes do you get for each question?🙈 also I really hope it all went well for you😊

Yes, 100%! That's what I mean, hard to prepare for that. Nothing I had planned to sya came into play. Hopefully we done okay!
Do you know the turnaround time for UU?

I just got it done at kids naptime today , also annoyed that I prepped a lot for very little reason lol Also seeing the video beforehand I would've gave a similar answer / perspective if I'd just watched it on the spot. Will be interesting to see a marking criteria. I did make bullet points at the start of the question and just glanced at them, anyone else do this or did you just dive straight in? Well done everyone who got it done and good luck, now the real wait!!
Are you able to take notes you make of the video into the interview with you or how does that work?
My worry for this is since we don't scan the room if I wrote bullet points will they think I have a whole list of stuff already there but they never specified and know people will take notes as they advised so their just trusting is to be professional at the same time

I wasn't sure if you could bring notes in so I didn't bring any in with me but you do have time to write down some key ideas but personally I was conscious of treating it just as if somebody was in front of me and I would want to make eye contact. Having a few scribbles in front I think just gave me a bit of reassurance that if I went blank I'd have a prompt at least. Having said that with a few of the questions I presume they would want a very true natural response opposed to rehearsed.
Im doing my interview tomorrow, by the sounds of things the questions are really unexpected sorts of questions! Ah god nervous now lol!

Same I feel like that will be the clincher question but so far most ppl have said at least 1 question kind of threw them so hopefully all in the same boat! It’s actually worse once you’ve done it and start thinking ah maybe I should’ve said this or added that! I’m going to try to put it to the back of my mind now!
