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 within the national Round 2 window, 11 January 2027 to 9 April 2027, that means starting by 16 November 2026. Short daily sessions work better than occasional long ones.
