Spoken case mocks
Ask clarifying questions, explain a structure and talk through your calculations. The AI interviewer can follow up using the selected case context.
Practice consulting cases aloud with an AI interviewer that asks follow-ups. Review your response feedback after processing, choose one correction and rehearse it on another case. Finance and behavioral exercises are also available.
Trial duration and renewal terms appear at checkout. Practice feedback is AI coaching, not an employer assessment.
Choose a relevant case, explain your reasoning aloud and review your answers after feedback processing. Then test one correction.
Read the case description and available exhibits. Select a question that fits the skill you need; a firm label is not proof of an official employer question.
Answer aloud, state your assumptions and respond to follow-ups. The selected case determines the available material; this is rehearsal, not a replica of your employer’s interview.
When feedback is ready, compare each comment with your answer. Recalculate the math, write one correction and choose a related drill or another mock yourself.
Explain a case aloud, review your response feedback after processing and decide which calculation or explanation to repeat.
Choose your practice task
A mock connects the skills in conversation. A drill isolates one calculation or explanation. Use the feedback to decide what you need next.
Ask clarifying questions, explain a structure and talk through your calculations. The AI interviewer can follow up using the selected case context.
Choose a focused exercise for math, market sizing, structuring, chart interpretation or finance. Timing options and results depend on the drill.
Review the comments available after a scored session. Check each claim against your answer, then write a correction you can test.
Consulting cases, finance exercises and behavioral rehearsal address different tasks. Check the available material against your invitation before planning your practice.
Soreno is an independent rehearsal tool. Its AI feedback is not an employer rubric or an offer prediction. Feedback requires processing; empty or very short answers may remain unscored.
Work through this short example before starting another mock. The case, answer, follow-up and coaching below are written illustrations, not a customer result, live AI output or an official firm question.
A software company’s annual revenue stayed at $10 million, but its operating margin fell from 25% to 18%. How would you investigate the decline?
| Measure | Last year | This year |
|---|---|---|
| Annual revenue | $10 million | $10 million |
| Operating margin | 25% | 18% |
Last year: $10 million × 25% = $2.5 million operating profit. This year: $10 million × 18% = $1.8 million. The decline is $700,000 per year.
The margin fell seven percentage points. Profit fell 28% relative to last year: $700,000 ÷ $2.5 million. Calling either change “7%” would leave the denominator unclear.
I would confirm that both margins cover the same twelve-month period and use the same operating-profit definition. At $10 million of revenue, last year’s operating profit was $2.5 million and this year’s is $1.8 million. The operating profit decline is $700,000 a year. I would request the operating cost breakdown for both periods, then identify which categories explain that increase. I’d compare recurring costs with one-off expenses. I would not recommend a cut until I knew the cause and its effect on customers or operations.
Strength: “The operating profit decline is $700,000 a year.” You translated the margin change into an annual profit amount before choosing an investigation.
To improve: “I’d compare recurring costs with one-off expenses.” Name the data you need to separate those costs. For example, ask for the same cost categories in each year and an explanation of any one-off charge, then choose a branch from that evidence.
Repeat your answer with that request. Then change this year’s margin to 20%: profit would be $2 million, the decline $500,000, the margin drop five percentage points and the relative profit decline 20%.
Check your working before accepting an AI comment. The useful next step is a correction you can explain on a new example.
