Frequently asked questions
- Where should I start for English tech interview prep?
- Start on Mockly Progress, then work Before the Interview and Self Introduction first. Those unlock the structures you reuse in behavioural and technical rounds.

- Use Mockly’s 4-part structure: open strongly, background summary, tech stack and work style, then motivation. Keep it around 60 seconds.
- Are these the same sessions as on Mockly?

- How do I book a Mockly trial?
- Open Book a free trial on this page (or app.mocklyenglish.com/book#coaches) for a 30-minute live session. Use Mockly Progress first if you want a self-paced path before coaching.
