Hands-on work assessments
See the work. Then hear the thinking.
Give candidates and learners a realistic task, review what they submit, and ask them to explain their decisions in a follow-up viva.
- Real deliverables
- Role-specific tasks
- Submission + viva
Turn a customer issue into a clear action plan
Review the supplied sample notes. Identify the issue, prioritize the next steps, and explain the trade-offs.
- 01Deliverable: a concise plan with supporting evidence
- 02Follow-up: explain your choices in the viva
- 03Review: requirements, quality and reasoning
A polished answer does not show how someone works.
A Task Round leaves you with the actual work and the explanation behind it. Use that evidence to review practical ability or help a learner improve.
- 01
Set the brief
Choose or author a role-specific task, its instructions, starter material, time window and evaluation criteria.
- 02
Complete and submit
The participant works on the task and hands in the requested files, repository or supported links. Tools depend on the task.
- 03
Explain and review
A follow-up viva checks understanding. Review the submission, discussion and evidence together.
Tasks beyond coding
Use role-specific deliverables for engineering, design, analysis and other work. A terminal appears only when the task needs one.
One assessment lifecycle
Keep the brief, submission, follow-up and report together so a reviewer can understand the whole attempt.
Feedback grounded in work
Review the submitted material against the task requirements, with clear evidence for strengths and gaps.

Task Rounds: common questions
Is this the Task interview style?
No. A Task Round is a dedicated work assessment with a submission and follow-up. The Task style inside an AI interview is a separate conversational format.
Do all tasks need a coding environment?
No. The required tools and submission format depend on the task. Design, writing and analysis tasks do not automatically require a terminal.
Can colleges control access separately?
Yes. Prep has an independent Task Rounds module, separate from MCQs and Coding Tests.
