"Before the interview, I thought they’d make things hard for me so I can’t answer, but when I really went to Vericant, I discovered that they’re actually helping me get accepted by better schools. Their questions are realistic, so they help me better prepare for the high school’s official interview."

Athena ZhaoAdmitted to Culver Academies

"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."

Tony ZhangAdmitted to Baylor School

"Before the Vericant Pre-Interview, I thought it was a test. After the VPI, I understood it was a real conversation so I changed my approach and my performance (in the official Interview) improved."

What is the Vericant Pre-Interview (VPI)? What is the purpose?

The Vericant Pre-Interview is a mock interview designed to help individuals applying to high school abroad understand what the Vericant Interview experience will be like.

Some of Vericant’s partner schools only accept the first interview in their application, while others only accept the most recent one. Experiencing the interview environment will help an applicant feel more confident and ready for their official Vericant Interview.

Note: VPI results cannot be sent to schools.

If I take VPI, will my official interview’s SEE score be higher than my VPI score?

Whether the VPI will improve one’s SEE score depends. Each person will have a different performance. The SEE score of each interview varies depending on the applicant’s overall performance during the interview.

Who should do a VPI?

VPI is only for individuals who are applying to high school.

When can I register for a VPI? Where can I do a VPI

VPI registration is available year-round. You can do VPI in Beijing, Shanghai, or Shenzhen. Other interview locations may be available upon request. Please contact our office at 010-84856364 or email schedule@vericant.com for more information.

How many times can an applicant do VPI? Is there a wait time between each interview?

There is no limit to how many VPIs an applicant can take. There is also no required wait time between 2 VPIs.

Is there a wait time between VPI and VI (official interview)?

There is a 14-day minimum wait time between the VPI and official Vericant Interview.

What is the price for a VPI (Vericant Pre-Interview)? What other products and services can you buy?

See our Pricing page for more details.

What are the differences between VPI and VI?

1. VPI results cannot be sent to any schools.
2. The PSEE Score Indicator provided is a range (e.g., 4.1 – 4.6) to help students predict the range their SEE score would have fallen into if they had done the Vericant Interview for that day.

What is the VPI assessment standard?

In each season, VPI will use the same assessment standards that we have for VI with two exceptions:

The writing sample prompts will have a two-choice prompt instead of three.The types of prompts are Analytical and Practical.
The writing sample word count limit is 3,600 characters instead of 3,000 like in the official Vericant Interview.

What is a SEED (Spoken English Evaluation Diagnostic)?

The SEED (Spoken English Evaluation & Diagnostic) is a comprehensive report about your performance during a Vericant Pre-Interview. It includes a breakdown of how you did in each of the five categories of our rubric and professional feedback on the strengths and weaknesses you displayed during the interview.

The SEE Diagnostic is only offered for the VPI. Official interviews do not have SEED Reports.

The SEE Diagnostic has helped thousands of applicants focus their practice and put their best Interview forward.

"Interviews really do (help) in terms of our assessing fit and getting to know you as an individual, whether those interviews are through Vericant or in person. That’s one of the best parts of the process — getting to watch those, or talk to you, and getting to know you better."

Peter G. CurranHead of School, Blair Academy

"The Vericant Interviews are our best opportunity to get to know you - we don't just look at your SEE score."

Sharon JarboeDirector of Admissions and Fiancial Aid, The Pennington School
