Vericant Pre-Interview (VPI)

Know your potential

Practice makes perfect. It’s also a great way to set expectations for your application process. K-12 applicants can take the VPI and prepare for the official Vericant Interview with our mock interview and writing sample.

Want to understand your score? Take the Spoken English Evaluation Diagnostic (SEED) and build confidence.

Prepare confidently. Perform accurately.

It’s not easy to be yourself with a professionally-trained interviewer, especially if it’s your first time. Building familiarity with the interview and writing sample can build confidence and improve performance.

Pre- interviews only available for K-12 applicants

By using the same format as the official interview, the VPI is a mock interview and practice writing sample designed to familiarize applicants with the process and environment, aiming to raise self-confidence and manage expectations prior to taking the official Vericant Interview. An important consideration on whether or not to take the VPI is if an applicant’s target school only accepts the first interview, and does not allow for retakes. Some partner institutions only accept the most recent interview. Each applicant is limited to a maximum of 3 attempts per interview cycle, which spans from June to May.

Note: VPI results cannot be sent to schools.

Error analysis

I think that the Vericant Pre-Interview gave me the chance to speak one-on-one with a real interviewer. This experience is hard to come by. No matter how much I prepared beforehand, if I didn’t really sit down in the room and talk to the interviewer, I probably would’ve been afraid of the unknown until the actual interview.
