  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].

  3. Examiner

    Thanks, [DEMO STUDENT]. And what's your Net ID?

  4. Caller

    [DEMO NETID].

  5. Examiner

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

  6. Caller

    Testing.

  7. Examiner

  8. Caller

    Um, it is solving a problem about getting a product out to market properly.

  9. Examiner

  10. Caller

    Trying to do interviews and validate the information at the beginning.

  11. Examiner
