Why interview with Vericant?
Many institutions require Vericant in their admissions process, using the Spoken English Evaluation (SEE) and Writing Sample Evaluation (WSE) scores to make applicants decisions. Through our structured approach to live and in-person interviews, plus writing samples, we provide a fair, convenient, and affordable experience for applicants and their families.
The K-12 Summer Interview and Writing Sample in detail
Structured behavioral-style interview
Behavioral interview questions are centered on past experiences and aim to spark engaging conversations. Rather than assessing knowledge in any particular area, the interview questions are designed to allow admissions officers to gain deeper insights into the applicant’s personality, interests, and thinking skills.
