Interview Prep With Rocky

Interview Prep with Rocky – Confident, Adaptive Practice for Independent School Interviews

Most Independent schools include an interview after written or online assessments.
These interviews often blend general questions with challenge tasks such as:

  • Harder maths questions
  • Short comprehension
  • Poem analysis
  • Image description
  • Quick paragraph-writing exercise

Schools also tailor questions to each student’s profile (e.g., probing English more if Maths was strong, or vice versa).
Interview Prep with Rocky mirrors this so students feel prepared, calm, and confident.

Rocky conducts interactive mock interviews that adapt to the student’s strengths and gaps shown in their eMock results, delivering targeted follow-ups and constructive feedback just like a real interviewer would.


What Does It Include?

  • At least 20 interactive mock interviews to choose from
  • Every mock interview includes general questions plus 1-3 challenge tasks drawn from:
    • Harder Maths
    • Short comprehension
    • Poem & questions
    • Image description
    • Quick paragraph writing
  • Realistic interview flow and tone, aligned with Independent school expectations
  • Brief feedback after each answer, and a detailed report at the end


How Does It Work?

  1. Start a mock: Rocky greets the student and begins with friendly, generic questions to warm up.
  2. Interactive answers: The student types their response and clicks Submit.
    Rocky acknowledges it, gives a short, supportive piece of feedback and then moves on to the next question.
  3. Challenge tasks: Rocky introduces one or more of the challenge tasks (listed above).
    Each is interactive and follows the same answer and short feedback flow.
  4. Final report: At the end, Rocky provides detailed feedback on each and every answer, suggests next-step practice, and may include a simple score or proficiency level for that mock.
