How am I supposed to answer a Kira interview

[Caperdia]

I'm sure this question has been answered before, but I couldn't specifically find what I'm looking for. I recently received an interview for a school that requires I complete a Kira assessment before the interview date, my question is what kind of questions should I expect on the Kira assessment.

I've taken a Canadian Casper test before and got 3rd quartile without studying, is Kira similar to casper where I don't have to study? Also, like Casper, is there a specific way I should be answering questions in this interview?

Hi there,
Kira is just a pre recorded interview format. The two I completed had videos of faculty or students asking generic, school specific interview questions. You have about a minute to prepare and then you record your response with about a minute time limit. I would study the school, old interview questions for them, etc, but not study any more than you would for a 'normal' interview. They both took 30 minutes total, but this depends on the school.

Best of luck!!!!

It could depend, basically it is the school writing the questions, so it could vary. Just expect usual interview questions 🙂 why dentistry, scenario questions like ' what would you do if someone was unethical' etc.

Kira Talent is just a platform. Just answer the questions honestly, but with adequate structure to not ramble. The adcom chooses the questions so expect some questions about yourself, why dentistry, why their program. You can expect some prompts that could feel like secondary/school-specific prompts (like you see in the premed forums as secondary essays are less common in dental admissions). So how do you handle stress? How do you work with someone who comes from a different background as you? Tell me whens.

We conducted a survey on Recorded Video Interviews. While it won't tell you what questions you will be asked, you can get a sense of others' impressions.
