Money in Jar
A group needs to estimate the value of coins in a glass jar. All the jars contain $10 plus or minus few cents. Estimators are asked to estimate the value of coins and all estimates need to be approved by an approver.
Estimators are rewarded for high estimates. Approvers are also rewarded as percentage of estimator's estimated amount.
Now the estimators are divided in 2 groups - they differ in only aspect i.e. high estimation change is either abrupt or slow.
How likely is the approver going to reject the estimate in Abrupt or Slow group?

The interview is a game and practice can boost the performance
Taking time to think and writing an answer to the interview question will help you prepare the script. Writing a response sharpens your thought process and gives an opportunity to review the response and make improvement to the script. You don’t need to memorize the answer.
Thinking through, writing and reviewing the response to the interview questions increases preparedness, boosts the confidence and reduces anxiety. It builds up a repertoire of stories for easy retrieval and you can now focus on delivery during the actual interview. Your confidence spirals upwards with each answer and increases the chances of a better outcome.
Prepare well before the interview. Know the common interview questions. Learn the dos and don’ts. Write, practice and improve your specific response either by yourself or by feedback from a family member or a colleague or a teacher. You will gain mastery through practice.
As they say, if you want to be good at something, then you must practice to learn, and grow.
