FAQ

Common questions

How does the AI grading actually work?

Apex sends your answer to an AI model alongside the question and a detailed grading rubric built by experienced bankers. The model evaluates correctness, depth, and clarity — and returns a structured score with specific feedback. It's the same evaluation loop a senior analyst would do in your head after an interview, automated.

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

Pro is $19.99/month with unlimited grading, adaptive review queues, AI-generated performance insights, and 1 mock interview per day (resets 24 hours after each). The Recruiting Pass is $39.99/month — everything in Pro plus unlimited mocks, voice mode (speak your answers like the real interview), and early access to new question packs. Both are monthly with cancel-anytime.

Can I practice for free without an account?

Yes. Guests get 5 AI-graded answers per day without signing up. Creating a free account also gives you 5 daily grades, but adds performance tracking, saved questions, and weak spot analysis that persist between sessions.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Go to Subscription in your account menu and click "Manage billing." This opens the Stripe billing portal where you can cancel, update your payment method, or download invoices. Your access continues until the end of the billing period.

Does voice mode work the same as text mode?

Yes — voice responses are transcribed and evaluated using the same grading model as text. Voice mode is useful for simulating a real interview cadence, but the feedback quality is identical. For best results, use Chrome on desktop.

What level are the questions — junior analyst, senior?

Questions are calibrated for IB first-round and superday interviews — the level you'd face recruiting for analyst and associate roles. Each question is tagged Basic or Advanced. Advanced questions match the depth interviewers at BB and EB firms typically probe for.
