Why practice with a timer
In a real loop you do not choose the question and you cannot pause. Practicing the same questions in order trains recall of a script. Random order and a visible clock train the skill that is actually tested: structuring an answer on the spot and stopping on time.
- Pick a track and a round length. 5 questions at 3 minutes is about one interview block.
- Answer out loud. Lead with the direct answer, then how it works, then one example or trade-off.
- When the round ends, paste what you said into the self-check for each question.
- Read the model answer for anything under 70, then run a new round tomorrow.
