BAE SYSTEMS Graduate final interview

Hi everyone. I've progressed onto the final interview with BAE systems for a graduate role in engineering modelling and simulations. The interview will take place through HireVue, with 2 panelists, one interviewing me and another recording my answers. I've been told there will be 9 questions composed of 6 behavioral and 3 technical questions centred around their company values such as "integrity" and "strategic thinking."
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

ENGLISH IS NOT MY NATIVE LANGUAGE and I didn't read any books as a kid so I always struggle forming formal answers. Should I ask CHATGPT potential Q&As, print them off and glance off them?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

The questions were relatively simple, which centered around their company values like adaptation, motivation, teamwork, etc.
there were 9 questions consisting of 6 competency, 3 technical.
the three technical questions were about the role itself and why you picked it and why BAE

Cheers appreciate it, good luck to you too. Mine was for test and commissioning and went on for about an hour technical qs was pretty intense didn't know much but hopefully it was a test of how you think. How about you ?

Thanks, and yeah same here. Hope the technical questions were more about seeing your thought process, as there’s not too much information about specifics of the roles on the website.

Clearly they’ve been conducting interviews for a while because this thread was posted 2 months ago and I didn’t get the phone call until last week.

Yes, and your motivation for your chosen career path in general.

HI, I'm in a similar situation but I have the interview for a software role. I know this interview was a while ago but if possible can you remember what questions they asked for the technical side. Because I thought the technical questions would involve coding.

Has anyone given final interview for the role Graduate Data Analyst or Business Analyst? if so, what were the Technical questions asked in the final interview.

Also what sort of competency-based questions did you all get?

From what I’ve heard it’s been random, I had my screening call, 2hrs later they called me back saying I’ve made it to the final stage
