When to start practising
An interview tests whether you can give a structured, specific answer out loud, under time pressure, to someone who presses you. That improves with repetition, so most candidates need six to eight weeks of regular spoken practice before the interview. For interviews 1 February 2027 to 4 February 2027 (Round 1 - for August 2027 start), that means starting by 7 December 2026. Short daily sessions work better than occasional long ones.
