Poll: How exactly did YOUR oncycle process work and look like?

1st year analyst going through the gauntlet soon - Moreso for current associates—what did your process look like step by step, play by play when it kicked off?would be helpful to hear a variety of opinions. Have heard some folks going for 8 hours back to back.

Was it case->model->behavioral->case-> technicals-> etc…?

Thanks a lot.
