Careerflow.ai’s Mock Interview Tool offers realistic, interactive interview practice to help you improve your communication and critical thinking skills. After each session, the AI reviews your responses and gives you a verdict based on several key areas.
How the Verdict is Calculated
Each mock interview is scored using specific evaluation criteria that match the type of interview you completed, whether it’s behavioral, technical, or a mix of both. This makes sure your answers are reviewed fairly and consistently.
Below is how Careerflow.ai evaluates your performance.
1. Evaluation Criteria
For each interview type, Careerflow.ai uses certain criteria to review your answers. For example, in a behavioral interview, the AI may look at:
Understanding of the Question and Context – How well you understood what was being asked.
Depth of Reasoning and Insight – How strong and thoughtful your explanation was.
Relevance and Completeness – Whether your answer covered all important parts of the question.
Use of Examples or Data – If you used examples or facts to support your points.
Actionability of Suggestions – Whether your ideas or solutions are realistic and practical.
Each interview type has its own set of criteria based on what skills are being tested.
💡 Note: Your tone, body language, or appearance are not scored. The AI only looks at the content and structure of your answers.
2. Scoring Levels
Each criterion is rated on a five-level scale:
Weak – The answer is unclear or does not fully address the question.
Neutral – The answer is acceptable but lacks detail or confidence.
Strong – The answer is clear and covers the main points.
Very Strong – The answer is detailed, organized, and supported by examples.
Exceptional – The answer is confident, complete, and shows strong understanding.
The AI rates your answers on each criterion and calculates a total score.
3. Overall Verdict
Once the AI finishes scoring all criteria, it gives you an overall Mock Interview Verdict. This shows your total performance level based on your average score.
Here’s how the score is converted into a letter grade:
Score Range | Verdict | Meaning |
Above 75 | A+ | Excellent performance showing clear and detailed answers. |
51–75 | B+ | Good performance with solid answers and minor areas to improve. |
21–50 | C+ | Fair performance that covers the basics but needs more depth. |
20 or below | D | Needs improvement with unclear or incomplete answers. |
In the Overview Tab, you can see your final verdict and a breakdown of your performance, including:
Overall Performance Summary – Your general rating and average score.
Evaluation Criteria Breakdown – Your individual scores for each area.
Interviewer Observation – Written feedback from the AI, similar to a real interviewer’s notes.

4. Topic Analysis Tab
The Topic Analysis Tab gives you a more detailed view of your mock interview. You can see:
