Question 1
Ask about specific skills (both hard skills and soft skills) needed for the job. This could be unexpected to many who are not familiar with Embassy works. Test is timed, which could also put pressure on your performance. Overall not too difficult but I'd suggest you talk to somebody who works here or other Embassies to understand what are required of the position.
