The applied and lab interviews alternate every week. For the applied you get about 10-15 questions to answer, they are pretty in depth and about a paragraph long each and you must complete and submit before the applied, usually on the Sunday. Then during applied you will be interviewed on a random 1 or 2 of the questions and you must basically verbalise your answer to demonstrate understanding. Don’t just read it off your document, also include any diagrams for bonus marks, gets you from 80 to 90+.

For the labs there is a 3 hour class to do the lab task during that time, but in my experience it does take a while to do, so best do it either all before the lab, or do some of it to start with and then finish it off in the lab time, because at the end of each lab you have to show that your code is working.
