I applied through college or university. I interviewed at bp
Interview
Applied via online site and had a campus interview. Interview was 90 minutes - 45 minutes behavioral/fit, 45 minutes of a non-technical case study. The questions were very repetitive and asked repeatedly with minimal changes in the wording. Case wasn't technical which made it hard to determine whether or not the answer was correct.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given two projects to evaluate. One has a higher upfront cost but potential for greater earnings over time, while the other one is cheaper but is not expected to generate as much revenue. Which one do you undertake?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at bp in Oct 2016
Interview
It was quite intimidating looking at yourself in the little screen but otherwise, it's rather impersonal. You are given a tutorial prior to the interview and you're given 30 seconds to think of your responses. Then the camera starts recording. You're typically given 60-120 seconds to record a response. There were 4 questions and try not to waffle. The questions aren't that hard but it's easy to waffle. Prepare a few stories beforehand.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at bp in Nov 2015
Interview
1. Online application
2. Online Psychometric tests (numerical and logical tests) It is really difficult to finish all those questions so I skip some of them.
3. Competency interview (video interview). Interview questions includes: Why BP? Why trading? how to handle conflict? How do you view yourself in 5 years.

Interview
Two video interviews done in my dorm room and a final site interview which included an individual case interview and a group case interview.
Video 1: 10 mins, 3 questions. Really basic. "Tell my about yourself", "Why BP/oil", and something else
Video 2: a lot of questions, lasts about 30 minutes, many esoteric questions
Case 1: Easy case interview. Google "Schlumberger business interviews" for examples on math, and get the Case in Point book for examples on how to answer questions.
Case 2: With a group. Make sure to be respectful but don't be a pushover. A really easy way to ace this interview is to suggest being the person who writes on the board: shows initiative, allows you to be involved without doing any heavy lifting, can showcase your organization skills because it was a large case with many data pieces.
The two cases are done before lunch, then you get lunch at 12 and are shown the trading floor/building.
