  1. Examiner

    Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?

  2. Caller

    [DEMO STUDENT]? K-R-A-8-A-8. K-R-A-8-A-8.

  3. Examiner

    Thanks. I need you to hang up and email the instructor immediately, because the Net I D you gave does not match the one on my roster. If you are [DEMO STUDENT], your Net I D should be [DEMO NETID]. Please confirm your name and Net I D again.

  4. Caller

    [DEMO STUDENT], [DEMO NETID]

  5. Examiner

    Great, hello [DEMO STUDENT]. I see you worked on Team B. Give me your thirty-second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?

  6. Caller

    How many times did the chicken cross the road?

  7. Examiner

    Once, if it is optimizing for commute time and not for job security. Now, give me your thirty-second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?
