Let’s make it happen.

edit:

I’m adding for training use an attachment received entitled “Job Knowledge Information”. They send it to their candidate prior to the interview so that “this information should be studied in preparation for the 45 minute technical multiple-choice questionnaire”.

As a result you can have a sample of questions that would look a lot like what can be found on

Otherwise, very good overall test process feedbacks can be found on
