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 exposure to both obstetrics and gynaecology

  2. Quality-improvement and patient-safety examples

  3. Research, teaching, leadership and teamwork evidence

  4. Your reasons for choosing O&G and understanding of the specialty

Current published format
