K-12 Remote Interview
What is a K-12 Remote Interview?
The Vericant K-12 Remote Interview is a remote interview offered to students who reside outside of Mainland China. Vericant will facilitate a spoken interview and a writing sample through the Vericant Online Interview Room. The Online Interview Room is an in-browser web tool, which means you don’t need to download any additional software or apps.
*Interview procedures and options may vary by region. Applicants from Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau), please visit www.vericant.cn for region-specific information.
Is everything the same for Remote and In-Person Interviews?
The interview, assessment, delivery times and process to send to schools are the exact same as Vericant In-Person Interviews.

What happens during my interview?
What to expect on the day of your Remote interview:
Note: If you are more than 5 minutes late to enter the Online Interview Room, it will be viewed as forsaking the interview and you will not receive a refund.
Login to your Vericant account and enter the Interview Management page. Click on “Start Online Interview” to enter the Online Interview Room. Ensure your microphone and camera are working properly. Then click “I’m ready.” When it is time for your interview, you will be able to meet your interviewer. Once connected:
The interviewer will ask to see the ID you registered with.
The interviewer will explain the interview process to you. (It includes a 30-minute writing sample and an interview around 12-15 minutes long.)
The interviewer will conduct some checks for security purposes. Please cooperate with the interviewer’s instructions.
After the spoken interview is finished, you will start the digital writing sample immediately. You will have 30 minutes to complete the writing sample. The interviewer will remain with you in the Online Interview Room, in case you have any questions or problems during the writing sample.
After the digital writing sample is complete, the interviewer will confirm that the entire interview has been completed. Then you may leave the Online Interview Room.

What if I don’t have my confirmation page or ID on the day of the interview?
If you did not bring your ID (ID card or passport), you can show the interviewer a digital version of the ID (picture or scan) that you registered with.
