Honestly, I wouldn’t stress too much about it, I believe it’s already on their web page but they quite literally only just ask about the pre-interview task they’ve given to you beforehand. The interviewer I had was really welcoming and reassured me a lot cuz I think it was visible that I was stressing out/kept stumbling on my words but my personal tips would be to literally just know the pros and cons of each scenario given— it doesn’t have to be in a lot of detail, kind of like bullet points (this is what the interviewer told me). They honestly just want to know your viewpoint on the cases and see if you know the opposing argument to it

My tips would be to state your own opinion on the case and then give the reasons why, But then go on to explain why some people think otherwise and make sure to reiterate your viewpoint at the end. So just know the pros and cons of each scenario they give you and make it clear what you think!!

No worries honestly!! I think it’s fine if you disagree as long as you explain why and stuff, that’s actually what I did too

You can if you want but also they don’t expect you to have like a lot of knowledge available for pharmacy and they’re more so testing out your thought processes and what you think. I honestly just spoke about the pros and cons for each since the case itself is healthcare related

I’m sure it went great!! Don’t stress about it now since it’s over, for me they actually took a really long time— just over 3weeks I think but I’ve heard some people getting it in just a couple of days
