   - Generate ethics case study and give solutions in multiple dimensions
   - Generate quotes/reports/committees
   - Generate insights from pdf’s etc

2. For Personality Test,
   - Prompt GPT to simulate your interview board and ask you questions and answer it also.

If I was preparing today, I would have definitely done the above. All the very best.
