The prompt

A Tokyo rail operator has dangerous crowding on one station platform during the morning peak. How would you think about fixing it?

Candidate-led: no familiar type fits this. You build your own flow model and ask for the numbers; the interviewer answers and challenges.

Practice with a partner

1. Send the interviewer link to a friend. They read the case aloud and hold the answers.

2. You open the candidate view: you see only the prompt, a timer and a notes box.

3. Speak the case out loud. Your partner shares data when you ask, then scores you with the rubric.

The simulator asks the questions one at a time with the answers out of view, then gives feedback that quotes your own words.
