Hi Guys thanks for sharing the information

Are you all applicants for the MBA program?

I'm applying for the msis program, and it indicates there would be 3 questions in the assessment. My practice questions are very simple questions like what's your favorite book or your travel experiences, but everyone here is posting 2 questions that need some deep thoughts. I'm wondering will questions for different programs different?

Thanks

The practice questions for the MBA app were easy like that too. What super power would you want, and if you won a large sum of money what would you do with it. The real questions are nothing like the actual questions.

Honestly not sure what the MSIS questions would be like, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they were similar in some ways.

Got done with my video interview just now.
I was asked the following 2 questions(in my own words):
1. What are the most important leadership attributes according to you?
2. Tell us about a situation at work where you had too much on your plate then you could work on. How did you decide what to prioritise and what was the end result?

PS: The practice questions are completely unrelated to what is asked. They are just to get a feel of the interview and get comfortable with the interface.

The entire thing takes less than 5 minutes.

Just finished my foster assessment and these were my questions;

1. If you had unlimited time outside work and school, what would you do and why?

2. Tell me about a time you had limited resources to work on a task, what strategies did you deploy and what was the result?

Just completed my video interview for Fall 2022. Here are the questions(loosely the same ones) -

1) Describe a situation where you chose to communicate a message in person, where an email would be faster. Explain why you chose to talk directly?
2) Talk about a time when you were wrong in the professional setting. What did you do about it?

Grateful for this blog that helped me prep and happy to help the next guy that comes along

My questions:

1) Describe when you go beyond and help a colleague. How did it happen and what was the result?
2) Describe how you overcome obstacles, what did you do and what lessons did you learn?

The compiled sets of questions of previous years helped a lot in preparation. Kudos!

I just finished recording mine. The platform allows you to have as many practice tests as you want. Once you think you are ready, you will go to the question part and record. You will have a video of someone from the adcom asking a question, 30 to 45 sec to prepare an answer, and then 1’30 to record it.
The practice questions were very casual, asking for a superpower I would like to have or a book I read last year, but the recorded questions looked more like an interview with "tell me about a time you..."

I didn’t take note of the exact questions, but it was a variation of:

1 - Please give an example of an extra-curricular activity that taught you something important or changed your perspective in some ways

2 - Telle a time you were in a situation with considerable ambiguity. What action did you take, and what was the result?

This is what I had, paraphrasing a bit:
1. What is the best piece of feedback you have received in a professional setting and why?
2. TMAT when you planned for something and it didn’t go as per the plan. What were the steps you took and what was the result?
