Your own questions

Paste the questions you expect. Your interviewer asks them, and follows up.

Your résumé and the job

Add both. Questions come from your history and what the role needs.

Watch every answer back

Video replay jumps to the exact question, with your transcript beside it.

Built per role

Not generic questions.
The actual loop.

Every role carries the rounds companies run today, with the competencies each round tests and a bar for every level from intern to staff. Your report grades you against that bar.

Round 01

Recruiter screen

Motivation, level, logistics.

Round 02

Live coding

One medium problem, talked through.

Round 03

AI-assisted coding

Read and fix code you didn't write.

Round 04

System design

One service, end to end, with numbers.

Round 05

Project deep dive

One thing you built, every decision.

Round 06

Behavioural

Ownership, conflict, growth.

Sample question · System designDesign a URL shortener that serves 50,000 redirects a second. Start with what you'd measure.
A strong answer covers: read/write ratio and an estimate worked out loud, key generation without collisions, a cache in front of storage, and what happens when that cache fails.

Inside the room

Why it feels like a conversation, not a voicemail.

Most voice AI waits for silence, then writes a reply, then reads it out. Ours decides you have finished from what you said, and starts the reply while you are still trailing off. One turn, measured end to end, looks like this.

Semantic turn-taking

A turn model decides when you have finished from what you said. It holds through a mid-thought pause and releases on a completed answer.

Speculative replies

The reply is drafted and its first sentence synthesised while you are still trailing off. A wrong guess is cancelled before you hear a word of it.

Talk over it

Interrupt when you need to, the way you would a person. Echo from laptop speakers is filtered, so it works without headphones.

Two models, two jobs

A fast model drives the live conversation. A deeper one scores the whole session afterwards. Speed in the room, rigour in the report.

Pushes back on vague answers

A hidden check flags answers that are wrong, vague or unproven, and the interviewer follows up instead of nodding along.

Your language, your field

Interviews in 47 languages, with transcription tuned to each role's vocabulary: Kubernetes, EBITDA, troponin.

After every session

A report that tells you
what to fix tonight.

Scores against the bar for your round, the exact moments that cost you, and the round to practise next. Exams get a band estimate against the official criteria.

“Overall this is a very modern helpful product and service. I am glad I found you. The ability to add custom questions is amazing! That's what actually differentiated Mocklive AI from other options for me when I was doing my research.”

Sarah M.IELTS Candidate
★★★★★

“I used to freeze on Part 2 because I'd spend the whole prep time trying to figure out what to say. Practising cue cards daily fixed that—I can now structure my thoughts in under a minute and just keep talking.”

Rohan M.F-1 Visa Candidate
★★★★★

“The rapid-fire questions kept me on my toes. I used to ramble when I got nervous, but practising under that pressure taught me to answer clearly and get to the point.”

VisaINMumbai
Dr. Matthew E.Medical Graduate

“History-taking under a strict timer is harder than it sounds. The simulated patient interactions helped me get my structure right without losing the empathetic part, which is easy to forget when you're rushing.”

“The discovery call practice was surprisingly useful. Handling pushback from a simulated customer helped me stay structured instead of getting defensive.”

Christopher L.Software Engineer
★★★★★

“I've done a lot of mock interviews before, but this was the first one where I actually had to defend my system design choices instead of just walking through a solution. It felt much closer to a real senior-level interview than I expected.”

“The pacing feedback was a wake-up call. I didn't realise how fast I was speaking until it was pointed out. Within two weeks, my fluency felt noticeably better.”

“Explaining my funding was the part I dreaded most. After practising it a few times, I could answer directly without hesitating or over-explaining.”

Dr. Hannah L.PLAB Candidate

“Breaking bad news is awkward to practise on your own. Getting instant feedback on my tone and how I came across helped me improve my rapport with patients much faster.”

PLAB · AMC · OETUSBoston
Isabella A.Product Manager
★★★★★

“What got me was the follow-ups. I'd give a STAR answer and instead of moving on, it'd push me on the impact or ask what I'd do differently. My answers got a lot tighter because of that.”

InterviewsUSSan Francisco
Emily R.IELTS Candidate
★★★★½

“Part 3 was the hardest part for me. The follow-up questions don't let you give a short answer and move on—you have to actually explain yourself, which pushed me to use better vocabulary.”

Priya S.Student Applicant
★★★★★

“The follow-up questions about my post-graduation plans caught me off guard the first few times. Practising them meant I wasn't scrambling for an answer at the actual interview.”

“The clinical reasoning feedback broke down exactly where my management plan summaries were weak. In a rapid consultation, that clarity matters a lot.”

PLAB · AMC · OETCAToronto
William E.Data Analyst

“It honestly feels like a conversation, not a questionnaire. There's no awkward pause waiting for the next question—it responds, follows up, sometimes catches you off guard. Which is kind of the point.”

Liam T.IELTS Candidate
★★★★★

“By the time I did the real test, the format didn't throw me off at all. Having practised with a simulated examiner who keeps things moving and stops you at the time limit made a big difference.”

“The tone feedback showed me when I was sounding tense. Keeping a calm, professional delivery under tough questions is harder than it sounds, and this helped.”

“What surprised me was how the AI patient responded differently depending on how clearly I explained things. If I was vague, the conversation got harder. That made it feel less scripted than other tools I've tried.”

“I used to finish explaining my code and have no clue if it actually made sense. Getting feedback right after, especially on where my logic wasn't clear, saved me a lot of second-guessing.”

“I didn't realise how repetitive my sentence structures were until the grammar feedback showed me. It gave me something very specific to work on instead of just 'practise more.'”

“Practising 30-second answers to intent-to-return questions removed most of the nervous pauses I used to have. Short and direct is harder than it looks.”

“I ran the timed stations so many times that the 8-minute window stopped feeling like a constraint. By test day, it was just routine.”

“Fifteen minutes of speaking practice a day did more for my confidence than weeks of reading sample answers ever did. Actually speaking out loud makes a difference.”

“I used to give long, unfocused answers about my academic background. The practice helped me condense it into something concise and clear.”

“The feedback on ethics and consent conversations was more detailed than I expected. It flagged things I would never have caught practising alone.”

“The product cases don't let you get away with a generic answer. You have to talk through metrics and trade-offs on the spot, which is exactly what I was bad at before.”

“The rubric breakdown pointed out vocabulary gaps I hadn't noticed on my own. It made my practice sessions way more targeted.”

“I realised I was over-explaining simple things and burning time. Practising shorter technical explanations here helped me get to the point a lot faster.”

“In Part 3, the examiner would ask me to clarify or expand on things, which is exactly the kind of pressure you get in a higher-scoring test. It prepared me well.”

“There's a gap between knowing the clinical stuff and actually delivering it well in a consultation. The immediate scoring on communication markers helped me close that gap.”

“I uploaded my resume and the questions actually came from it—my projects, my experience, the stuff an interviewer would realistically ask about. Way more useful than a random question bank.”

“Replaying my own answers while reading the transcript was a game changer for me. I could hear my mistakes and see them written out at the same time, which made them much easier to fix.”

“Repeating the harder scenarios built a kind of muscle memory. When a high-pressure station came up in the real exam, it didn't feel new anymore.”

★★★★★

“You can't just recite a prepared story and get through it. The follow-ups force you to explain your thinking, and that's where I found the gaps in my own answers.”

“The feedback on code quality and problem-solving caught a few edge cases I'd completely missed. Better to find those in a mock than in the real loop.”

“My background pitch used to go on forever. After a few recruiter-screen practices, I finally got it down to something short and clear.”

“Project deep-dives were the most useful part for me. I had to explain why I made certain architectural decisions, not just what I built—and that exposed a lot of weak spots.”

“The experimentation questions went deeper than I expected. It wasn't just 'explain A/B testing'—it followed up on the statistical reasoning, which is where I needed the practice.”

“The case follow-ups were sharp. They made me structure my thinking better, especially on the quantitative side, instead of jumping straight into a framework.”
