Your answer is graded in memory and never stored. Nothing you type here is saved or logged.
How the grading works
Your answer is evaluated against the same five criteria SeekArc's full AI mock interviews use — the criteria professional interview coaches score against:
Structure
Does the answer follow a clear arc — situation, your actions, the result (STAR where it fits)?
Specificity
Concrete details and real examples, not generic claims anyone could make.
Metrics
Numbers that make impact verifiable — percentages, dollars, time saved, people affected.
Clarity
Plain language, logical order, and a length a listener can follow (about a minute spoken).
Relevance
Does the answer actually address the question asked — and the role behind it?
What a good answer looks like
Take "Tell me about a time you showed leadership." Watch the difference the criteria make:
Weak — scores 3-4
"I'm a natural leader. At my last job I led a lot of projects and everyone on the team really respected me. I always step up when something needs doing."
No situation, no action, no result, no numbers — claims without evidence.
Strong — scores 8-9
"When our team lead left mid-migration, I volunteered to coordinate the remaining six weeks: I split the work into three tracks, ran daily 15-minute standups, and negotiated a one-week scope reduction with our PM. We shipped on the original date with zero sev-1 incidents."
Situation, actions, result — with specifics a listener can verify.
Frequently asked questions
Is the interview answer grader really free?
Yes. You get 3 free answer gradings per day with no account and no credit card. If you want unlimited practice with follow-up questions and a full mock interview, a free SeekArc account includes that too.
Is my answer stored or shared?
No. Your answer is graded in memory and immediately discarded — it is never written to a database, logged, or used for training. The only thing we count is that a grading happened, so the daily limit works.
How many times can I use the grader?
Three gradings per day per browser and per network, resetting every 24 hours. Signed-up users get unlimited mock interview sessions.
What AI powers the grading?
A Llama-family model running on Cloudflare's edge network, prompted with the same grading criteria used by SeekArc's full AI mock interviews: structure, specificity, metrics, clarity, and relevance to the question.
Can I practice a question that isn't in the list?
Yes. Choose from 30 common interview questions with question-specific grading frameworks, or paste any question of your own and it will be graded against general answer-quality criteria.
