Quant Interview Peer Practice Template
A simple template for quant interview peer practice sessions, including roles, prompts, observer notes, feedback, and next drills.
Candidates running peer mocks, study groups, or recurring quant interview practice sessions.
Session setup
Start with date, roles, target skill, and prompt source. Naming the target skill keeps the session focused and makes feedback easier to interpret.
Candidate notes
Track whether the candidate stated assumptions, chose a method, computed visibly, checked the answer, and handled follow-ups. Keep notes short enough to discuss immediately.
Interviewer notes
The interviewer should record follow-ups asked, hints given, and where the candidate needed help. Hint use is valuable feedback when captured precisely.
Concrete template
Use fields: target skill, prompt, first model, method, result, hint used, communication note, miss cause, repair drill, retest date. This is enough for most peer sessions.
Next drill
Every session should end with one next drill. If the candidate missed unordered counting, the next drill is counting variants. If communication was weak, redo a solved problem aloud.
Common mistakes
Templates can become busywork. If a field does not change the next practice action, remove it. The template exists to create better practice, not documentation for its own sake.
