Insight

Gap concentrated in DCF terminal value — mixed up Gordon Growth and exit multiple in 4 of last 6 misses.

Score trend — last 14 days

The difference

Most prep tools quiz you.
Apex measures you.

We spent months in the IB recruiting trenches ourselves. Apex is the tool we built because nothing else came close.

Typical question banks & PDFs

Read the model answer, hope you'd say something similar in the interview
Flip flashcards, mark them "got it" or "didn't" — no objective check
Click sequentially through topics — same order each time, no adaptation
Walk into the interview hoping it'll be enough

Our approach

Type or speak your real answer — graded 0–100 with specific feedback on what's missing
Adaptive queue: questions you missed resurface; mastered ones wait
Mock interview mode: timed superdays with end-of-session report card
Walk in knowing: a number tells you you're ready

How it works

Three steps. No setup.

From the first question to a personalized prep plan in under 60 seconds.

Answer like you'd interview

Type or speak your actual response — no multiple choice, no flipping a card. Just answer the question the way you would across a banker's desk.

Get a real grade, instantly

Apex scores you 0–100 against a rubric built from real banker grading. You'll see what you got right, what you missed, and the concept gap.

See exactly what's next

Your weak topics surface first. Your time-to-ready estimate updates as you go. The next session is already built for you.

What's inside

Built around how you actually learn.

Not just a question bank. A system that adapts as you do.

AI grading, not flashcards

Type or speak your answer. Get a 0–100 score with specific feedback on what's strong, what's missing, and the concept gap to drill next.

Adaptive review queue

Spaced repetition surfaces missed questions before you forget them. Mastered questions wait. The session is built for you, not picked at random.

Mock interview mode

Timed First Round (8 questions, 30 min), Superday (12 questions, 60 min), or custom. No grading until you submit — then a single end-of-session report card.

Plain-English insights

Every number on your dashboard is followed by a sentence explaining what it means and what to do. "DCF terminal value: you've mixed up Gordon Growth and exit multiple in 4 of 6 misses."

FAQ

Questions before you start

How is the grading actually accurate?

Each question has a rubric — what bankers actually look for in the answer. Apex sends your answer alongside the rubric and a banker-style grading prompt to a frontier AI model, which returns a 0–100 score plus specific feedback. It's calibrated against the same standard senior bankers use mentally when evaluating you across the desk.

Do I need an account to try it?

No — try one question right now, no signup or card required. Guests get 5 graded answers per day. Creating an account is free and adds progress tracking, saved questions, and the time-to-ready estimate.

Is this an alternative to the 400 guide or WSP?

The 400 guide gives you the model answers. WSP teaches you the concepts. Neither tells you if you can deliver the answers in the room. Apex is the missing piece — the active practice and objective feedback that converts knowledge into reps.

Does voice mode work?

Yes — voice mode is available in mock interviews and supported in Chrome and Edge. Your voice is transcribed in-browser and graded the same way as typed answers. Useful for getting the rhythm of speaking your answers out loud, the way you will in the actual interview.

Who built this?

a team of students who've been through IB recruiting firsthand. Apex was built out of that experience — the tool we wished existed when we were prepping. Questions and features ship regularly because we remember exactly what the process demands.

What's the difference between Pro and the Recruiting Pass?

Pro is $19.99/month — unlimited graded answers and 1 mock interview per 24 hours. The Recruiting Pass is $39.99/month — everything in Pro plus unlimited mock interviews, voice mode (speak your answers), and early access to new question packs as they ship. Both are monthly with cancel-anytime. Pick Pro if you're easing into prep; pick the Pass if you're in active recruiting and doing multiple mocks per day.
