Free tools for interview practice
Superday Room has three free tools: the IB Readiness Check, which scores your recruiting preparation out of 100 with next steps; a filler word counter that finds every “um”, “like” and hedge in a transcript; and a table of how long each investment banking interview answer should run. All three work without an account.
Use them together on one answer. Record yourself answering a question such as “Walk me through a DCF”, paste the transcript into the counter, and compare its length with the target for that kind of question. Most answers should take 45 seconds to 2 minutes, at about 130 to 165 words a minute. A good answer opens with the conclusion, uses specific numbers, and has few fillers; the counter shows what to say instead of each one.
- IB Readiness Check: score your resume, network, technicals and timing against common recruiting benchmarks, with the weights shown. Not a prediction of offers.
- Filler word counter: paste a transcript to count fillers and hedges, with stronger wording for each.
- Answer length targets: seconds and words for definitions, walk-throughs, “Why banking?” and STAR stories.
Frequently asked questions
- Are these tools free?
- Yes. All three are free and need no account. The readiness check and the filler word counter run in your browser, so what you enter isn't sent anywhere; site analytics only counts that a tool was used.
- Where do the numbers come from?
- The filler and length tools use Superday Room's grader: the same filler and hedge lists, the same pace of about 130 to 165 words a minute, and the same length targets it uses to score spoken answers. The readiness check shows its own point values on its page.
- How do I practice with real interview questions?
- Use the free investment banking interview questions, each with a short model answer, or answer out loud in Superday Room and get a 0 to 10 score on content, structure and delivery.
