Can someone tell me if the test time is accurate my test time is 7:45 am. Does the test actually starts at 7:45? And one more thing I want to know roughly how many hours for the test and interview?

Usually test will start in 30 mins from the specified time till they gather everyone in the test hall and verify documents.

Test with interview will take up to 3 hours max, but u might be done in 1 or 1 and half

Why are some people given RQ and some are not given? What's the criteria? Can someone explain the rationale behind RQ?
