AI Interviewer · Cambridge-styleExample session

InterviewerHere are five students and their friendships. Draw the network and work out each person’s utility.
Student, out loudLet me draw it first. Asha, Ben and Cara are a triangle, then Cara to Dev, and Dev to Eli…
InterviewerNow add 2 for every friend of a friend who isn’t already a friend. What changes?
Student, out loudDev jumps from 12 to 16, because he’s the bridge.
FeedbackGood: you drew the network before calculating. Next time, say why Dev gains most before giving the number.

Practice that answers back

Tutors judge how a student thinks out loud. The AI Interviewer follows up on their answer the way a tutor would, so no two sessions run the same way.

Know what a tutor rewards

Every question comes with a mark scheme, the follow-ups a tutor might ask and the weak moves to avoid, so practice turns into improvement.

A method for any question

Seven moves that work on questions the student has never seen: pin it down, narrate, start simple, assume out loud, take the hint, check it, land.

Questions

Which courses is this for?

Oxford and Cambridge economics and related courses: Cambridge Economics, Oxford Economics and Management, PPE, and History and Economics. The method and many of the questions also suit other interviews where economics comes up.

Are the interview questions real?

They are written in the style tutors ask. Three come from a real Cambridge Economics interview. None are official university questions.

What does the AI Interviewer do?

It runs a mock interview on a question, replies to what the student says with follow-ups, and then gives written feedback against the seven moves. Students can answer out loud or type. It is in the Applicant Pass only.

We live outside the UK. Does that matter?

No. Everything is online, and packs can be paid in pounds, US dollars, Singapore dollars or Hong Kong dollars.

Can you guarantee an offer?

No one honestly can. The packs are practice and feedback; the decision is the university’s.
