Spoken practice · Coming at launch

The interviewer speaks. You answer out loud. It responds to what you say.

Hear the question, explain your thinking and handle the next challenge. Follow-up draws on your answer and the evidence you provide.

  1. Hear the question

    The AI interviewer asks the question aloud, so practice feels like a conversation rather than a text chat.

  2. Answer out loud

    Use your microphone and answer naturally. Your spoken response becomes part of the interview transcript.

  3. Get follow-up based on your answer

    The interviewer listens to the content of your answer and can probe what you said, your evidence and the gaps you leave.

  4. Coach it, then test it

    Coach mode gives feedback and lets you retry. Interview mode removes the hints and keeps feedback until the mock is complete.

Built around your evidence

Personalisation should change the questions, not just your name.

The preparation context is deliberately specific to this interview route. The aim is to help you choose, explain and defend your own evidence rather than memorise someone else's answer.

  1. Your Emergency Department and acute-care experience

  2. Portfolio evidence across QI, teaching and leadership

  3. Examples of prioritisation, escalation and difficult decisions

  4. Your reasons for choosing ACCS Emergency Medicine

Confirmed 2027 format

Portfolio plus clinical and ethical judgement.

The official 2027 ACCS Emergency Medicine guidance confirms two online stations lasting up to 10 minutes: portfolio and clinical/ethical. Final selection weights MSRA 40% and interview 60%.

Interview mode

Test yourself without rescue prompts.
