SA'27: How are people actually prepping for IB HireVues this cycle?

Curious how people here are preparing for IB HireVues beyond guides and question banks.

I've reviewed 100's of HireVues, and one consistent issue wasn’t technical knowledge — it was delivery under time pressure (structure, concision, depth).

For anyone who’s already done a HireVue or is prepping now:

  • How are you practicing?
  • Are you recording yourself at all, or just running answers mentally?
  • What felt hardest live?

I’m sanity-checking a practice workflow around this and would appreciate blunt feedback from people going through recruiting this cycle.
