Your First Session

Now that you're signed in, let's walk through your first preparation session with StratBrain.

Exploring the Dashboard​

After signing in, you'll see your dashboard with two main areas:

  • Prep Area - Where you develop and refine your answers
  • Panel Simulation - Where you practice presenting your answers

Starting with Answer Preparation​

For your first session, we recommend starting in the Prep Area:

Step 1: Choose a Question​

  1. Click on "Prep" in the navigation
  2. Browse the available exam questions
  3. Select a question that interests you

Step 2: Begin Your Answer​

You have two ways to start:

  • Freeform Writing - Start typing your answer directly
  • Guided Interview - Let the AI coach guide you through building your answer step by step
Recommended for First-Timers

Try the Guided Interview mode first. It helps you organize your thoughts and ensures you cover all important points.

Step 3: Work with the AI Coach​

As you develop your answer, the AI coach can help you:

  • Clarify your main argument
  • Identify supporting examples
  • Strengthen weak areas
  • Practice articulating your thoughts

Step 4: Save Your Progress​

Your work is automatically saved, so you can close the browser and return later. Your answer will be right where you left it.

What's Next?​

Once you've developed a few answers, try the Panel Simulation to practice presenting them verbally. The AI panelists will ask follow-up questions and help you prepare for the real thing.
