  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

    My name is [DEMO STUDENT], and my Net ID is [DEMO NETID].

  3. Examiner

  8. Caller

    So this is just oral boards at this point. So you can answer anything you want and you can stop when you're done. But... Did you see the thing here? Maybe you should turn it off. Oh, sorry.

  9. Examiner

    Stay with me, [DEMO STUDENT]. Why does the recruiter’s specific problem require A...

  10. Caller

    Or just close it. Close it.
