Practise the one-way interview before the real assessment.
PrepRun now treats video interview practice as a core part of assessment preparation: camera and microphone check, a preparation timer, an answer timer, local replay/download, and AI feedback from the transcript you provide.
Question 1 of 4
Tell me about a time you worked under pressure.
Preparing for a live interview?
Use the General interview coach to prepare for a conversation with an interviewer. Add your job vacancy first; your CV is optional.
Once your questions are prepared, you can read your first rehearsal question before turning on your camera and microphone. Reading it does not start a timer or use your question allowance. Recording still requires the device check.
For a recorded, one-way assessment, use the interview practice above.
Already have your own interview questions?
Choose Custom interview to rehearse a list you have prepared. Add questions one at a time, use Paste a question list without creating a file, or import a PDF, DOCX, TXT or Markdown document. For pasted text with one complete question on each line, select One question per line (pasted text) before Preview questions. Review the extracted list, then choose Add previewed questions. Previewing does not add questions to your set or save them to your account.
Open interview setup below, choose Change mode, then Custom interview. Continue through the optional context step to the question editor. A vacancy and CV are optional. You can set preparation and answer times for your rehearsal.
Adapt a saved set for another interview. In Saved sets, load the set you want to reuse, then choose Copy as new set. This copies added questions and current settings into a separate draft; your saved original stays unchanged. Rename and adapt the copy, then choose Save to account when ready. Add or update any question edits before copying. Choose New question set instead to start with an empty list.
Try the import format first. Download a sample TXT with 3 questions and replace these original practice prompts with your own. For a TXT or Markdown file with one complete question on each line, select One question per line (TXT / Markdown) before importing, then review the extracted list. These are sample practice prompts, not real employer questions.

Select and copy the three lines below into Paste a question list. Select One question per line (pasted text), then Preview questions and review the list before adding it. These are original practice prompts, not real employer questions. Replace them with your own when ready.
Tell me about a decision you made using incomplete information. Describe a time you changed your approach after feedback. How would you explain a complex idea to someone unfamiliar with it?
Keep a readable copy. After adding or updating your questions in the editor, choose Download question text to save a TXT file in your browser.
The file contains only added question text, in list order. Timings, criteria and notes are excluded. Use it for reading and copying; it is not a full set backup. Reimporting may change formatting or question boundaries.
Preparing your question list does not start a recording or use your question allowance. The free trial covers one real custom question; full interview access is needed to practise complete sets.
The practice starts with webcam and microphone permissions, live video preview and an input-level check.
The default flow is 4 questions, 2 minutes to prepare and 3 minutes to answer, with a break between questions.
Paste the vacancy text or upload a vacancy PDF, then save it locally so you can reuse the same role context across interview sessions.
Your local clip can be replayed or downloaded for self-review. In the real interview, assume there is no replay or retake.
PrepRun tries browser transcription first, lets you edit the transcript, then gives coaching without uploading the video clip. Cloud transcription sends only answer audio if you choose it.
Free users get one real interview question. Full Assessment and Interview-only paid plans include unlimited interview rehearsal and AI feedback.
Common questions
Is the video uploaded?
No. The video clip stays in your browser tab for local replay or download. PrepRun tries browser transcription first; if you choose cloud transcription, only answer audio is sent. Coaching uses the reviewed transcript.
Can I use a job vacancy?
Yes. You can paste the vacancy text or upload a vacancy PDF. PrepRun extracts the text in your browser, and you can save the vacancy locally so you do not need to re-enter it for each interview session. Avoid pasting personal data.
Is the first question free?
Yes. Free users get one real video interview practice question. The practice question used to learn the UI is not counted as the real assessment question.
