Advice please!

So I applied for an auditing and assurance job with one of the big 4 (accounting firms) on a whim. I passed the original question thing and then I had an assessment which was very long and it was situational and behavioural. I passed and they invited me to the next stage where I need to sit infront of a webcam and answer some questions. The issue is, I don't have an accounting degree! I have an English BA and MA. I feel totally out of my depth and I know an accounting grad will prob get the role but I'm so confused. I know literally nothing about accounting!

I'm a biochemistry grad, 0 (zero) knowledge of accounting and I just started a grad scheme in audit at a Big 4. They don't assume prior knowledge, the questions will most likely be why you chose the programme/location, general business awareness, skill-based and scenario-based. You absolutely don't need any technical or in-depth knowledge, none.
