Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Asking questions that show knowledge of the institution makes a good impression. Options A and C are not good ideas. Option D is not done prior to the interview.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Make a list of weaknesses and how you corrected them. All references must be asked for permis-sion before their name is used. Option B is unrealistic. Providing a list of weaknesses does not include the strengths to balance the weaknesses.
