    Well what help do you need? because being honest with you, you haven't said what it is that you're lacking in.

    Apologies I should have mentioned what I am lacking in. I need help mostly with competency based questions.

    Well I don't mean to be harsh but... well that's the idea of the competency based questions, to see if you're competent in the subjects that they want. Either you know the stuff they want or don't, if you don't do you know the right place to find the answer, would you be able to, if given prods, get to the right answer.

    It's honestly not that difficult, they aren't out to make you suffer, they want to know if you're capable of doing the job.

    It went really good. I have gotten the job. One of the big reasons why I got the job is because I researched the company which differentiated between me and the other candidates. I think the main thing is be yourself. By being yourself you will be able to answer the questions.
