I will share with candidates what we would have liked to see more (or even less) of on specific tasks and / or questions. I make it clear that this is our take and may not be universal. It is often the case that candidates will be able to test examples at this point and I can respond to that.

Yes, that's definitely true. The thing that's important for them to hear - in the remaining time if we can get the word out. Is that there is no expectation from @beckyfrancis.bsky.social and the group for them to complete all sections. They can respond as fully as they like in just one or two
