Posing questions to yourself

The first thing to do is pose a question relating to the duty or
requirement listed under step 1. Start off with a question that you
feel comfortable with, then answer it using the information in the
other three columns. At the start, it is a good idea to write your
answers down.

This will give you some all-important structure and
direction. However, committing answers to paper does not imply
that you have to memorise them word for word. In fact, doing so
can be counter-productive—for two reasons. First, precise word-forword
answers are suited to highly specific questions, and there is no
guarantee that you will be asked the specific question you’ve prepared
for. Second, memorising answers to such a degree can rob you of
two of the most important skills used in interviews: flexibility and
an ability to think on your feet.

The important thing is to memorise the main points of your answers.
You are not required to regurgitate them in exactly the same order
using exactly the same sentences.
Once you’ve written your answer down and practised it to the
point where you’ve achieved a satisfactory level of fluency (without
referring to your notes), you can ask and answer other questions
relating to the same duty or requirement.

Two to three questions
for each of the duties/requirements under step 1 should suffice. You
can do more if you choose; however, you’ll probably find that, with
more questions, you’ll be repeating your answers.
