I received a Kira video assessment invite a couple of days ago. Basically, it refers to answering several questions live over webcam.
For UMN alums, is this a part of their standard process or something new?
For others who received similar correspondence from UMN or other universities, is this a sign of an interview call or just another step in the application process?

Thanks!
 
I think they stated on their website, that they will start new process, by doing an online interview first. so I think this is good news.
Can you share your profile if you don't mind?

Hi smahmood! I’ve received a Kira video too... Have you done yours and how was the process... would really appreciate your help!
 
I got it as well. I didn't do it yet. Any advice about kira is helpful.
Also, Do you have any idea what is cost of bench??

Thanks in advance.
 
About 20 mins. Click on start assessment and it’ll tell you how many questions you’re getting. You don’t have to start it

Just continue practicing in front of webcam. When you feel comfortable enough go for the real one. On the first question you’ll be nervous, but after that your nerves will settle in a bit. Practice as if you’re practicing for the toefl speaking section 🙂
 
Sorry folks for not having replied earlier. Nadent's advice is absolutely on dot. I treated it as a practice session pretty much - helps calm things down a bit. I am happy to see people responding with input as when I took it, I was pretty much on my own. Good luck!

I have received my completion email in April 12 and done my online assessment in April 29, I have not heard anything since then, and one received in person interview after in May?
 
Does anyone know what UMN skill assessment is about? What do they ask? It seems it is not really a bench test but there is some sort of skill testing. If someone can help, I would really appreciate it.

Dr Adarve mentioned on the Facebook groups that it’s a PFM molar prep.

Check either the 2018 or 2019 and scroll down, I forgot which one. The OP was asking about interviews and someone else asked about the test within the comments, so it's somewhere there where he mentions it. Best of luck.

I'm not sure. I know the previous years it was a cavity prep, but this year is different. I would say practice upper and lower because you never know! Is your interview on 7/12 as well?
