How do AI mock interviews work?

You paste the job description for the role you're interviewing for, optionally add your resume, and then have a live spoken conversation with an AI interviewer. The AI asks role-specific questions, follows up on your answers, and probes weak spots just like a real interviewer would. When you're done, you get a full debrief with scores and coaching on every answer.

Yes — the first interview is free with no signup required. Students can practice for free. Professionals pay $7 per session for unlimited interview prep.

What types of interviews can I practice?

PrepRound supports any role you paste a job description for — software engineering, product management, data science, design, marketing, and more. The AI tailors questions to the specific role and company from the job description.

What is Practice Mode vs Real Mode?

Practice Mode gives you hints and coaching as you go, so you can learn and improve mid-interview. Real Mode simulates the actual pressure of a job interview with no hand-holding — the AI evaluates you the same way a real interviewer would.

What students say

Reps make the difference

I went from completely freezing up in behavioral rounds to getting two offers in the same week. Ten sessions on PrepRound and the nerves were just… gone.

Jordan M. CS student, entering SWE recruiting

My interviewer actually complimented how structured my answers were. I had practiced the STAR format so many times I didn’t even have to think about it.

Priya S. MBA candidate, PM recruiting

Real mode is brutal — in the best way. My actual interviews felt easy by comparison. Getting grilled by an AI with no hints is underrated prep.
