How it works

Each question has two minutes on the clock. Answer aloud, as you would in the room, and jot notes if they help. When you are done, or when the time is up, show the model answer, check it against its key points and rate yourself: Nailed it, Partly or Missed. The clock never moves you on.

10 minutes is 4 questions, 20 minutes 8 and 30 minutes 12: two minutes to answer each, and the rest to check it. Questions are drawn at random and spread evenly across the track's topics, those you have not had yet first, and never the same question twice.

At the end you see each topic's ratings and the page to review: the topic's technical preparation page, or the Interview Prep question bank. The score counts Nailed it as one and Partly as half.

The key points are taken from the model answer's own words. Model answers are a starting point: say them in your own words. Questions on this week's markets carry the dates of the close notes their figures come from.

The page never uses the microphone and records nothing. Notes are not saved. Your progress, the questions you have had and your best results stay in this browser only.
