Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Mount Sinai practice questions

How many questions are in the question bank?
Mount Sinai contains 150+ curated interview questions specifically selected to help you prepare. Questions cover all major types including fit, behavioral situational, ethical, policy, and quirky questions.
How do you come up with the questions?
Our questions are created by reviewing a wide range of information on real interview practices and identifying the themes emphasized across different formats and programs. We combine common recurring ideas into representative prompts and generate realistic scenarios based on common patterns. All questions are therefore either representative of commonly asked questions or original questions inspired by common themes. For school-specific banks, we develop original questions using publicly available information - such as curriculum focus, school values, and local policy considerations - to ensure each set is relevant. All questions are uniquely generated and are not copied or reproduced from any external source.
