Before you begin the questions you’ll find a test question where you can check your microphone and camera are working. If they’re not working, check our troubleshooting section.
You’ll get three attempts to record each question. Click the white Record button to begin. Once you have finished, you can play it back to check you’re happy with the response.

Yes, you can take as many breaks as you want. Your interview is not timed, and provided you press Save at the end of each response your answers will be saved. You can answer a question, take a break, and continue without losing your recordings. You can also change a saved answer if you have enough retakes available too.
Yes. You can stop the recording at any point, and can re-record up to 3 times. However, when you press Retry you will permanently delete the answer that has already been recorded.
If you want to amend a recording but you have already pressed Save, click the Retry icon next to the video to re-record it with any attempts you have left.
Once you have begun, the Record button will change to Stop. You will also see REC next to a red button in the upper right hand corner of your video, and a timer in the bottom centre, as shown below. While you are recording the Play, Save and Retry buttons will be disabled.
Your response will only be saved if you have pressed the Save button after recording it. If you are mid-way through a recording and the browser window is closed your answer will not be saved. The time taken to upload your response will depend on your internet connection, but you will see the status in the window.
