It was an online interview with two people that lasted about 30 minutes. It was competency-based and very structured, with about 12 questions asked in a Q&A format. They took notes on my answers, so I imagine they're scored.

Case Behavioral
For six weeks, I worked on a business plan for a fictional shop, covering projections for 6 months, 6 weeks, and 12 months. Following that, I had an hour-long interview with the area manager and the manager. They asked pretty standard questions, but it's important to be prepared.
