The method behind InterviewMD
Shanaka is the founder and head coach of InterviewMD. He has watched the same things cost applicants marks again and again: weak reflection, generic stories, loose structure, rushed delivery and shallow reasoning. The rubric your answers are scored against and the drills in Train come from the way he coaches.
“More practice is easy. Knowing exactly what to fix is the advantage.”
The method comes from coaching. Platform lets you practise it independently. Private coaching with Shanaka's team comes with Interview Mastery and the Platinum Program.
Free assessment
In about 10 minutes, the student sits a short recorded interview and gets a personalised readiness report: what's strong, what's weak, and how each answer is landing.
Free · About 10 minutes · Personalised report · Laptop or desktop with camera and mic


Answering random questions feels productive but rarely shows you what to fix. Platform turns every practice answer into a score, a reason and a next step.
Practise
Single stations when you have ten minutes, three-station Sets when you have twenty, and full simulations when you want the real thing.

Answer out loud
An AI interviewer reads each question aloud, reading time counts down, and you answer on camera, the way the interview will actually feel.

Feedback
Each answer is transcribed and scored against the InterviewMD rubric, so you can see exactly where the marks went.

What to do next
Today picks one thing to do next from your recent scores, and tells you why: too many fillers, pace out of range, or your weakest area over your last ten answers.

Readiness
Hours of practice don't tell you whether you're ready. Sit a full mock and each format gets one of three words: Not yet, Close or Ready. Readiness keeps that verdict next to where you are on the road to interview day.

Classroom
Recordings of real Interview Mastery classes sit in your Classroom: Shanaka working through questions with a live group of applicants, so you hear the coaching as well as practising it.

Nerves
Knowing your answers is half of it. Walking in calm is the other half. Before a full mock, a guided breathing exercise settles you in, the same way you'd settle yourself outside the interview room.

Universities
Pick your universities and practise their actual interview: MMI or panel, the number of stations and the minutes on each. All 22 Australian medical schools that interview are set up for a full university-specific mock.

Train
Not every day has room for a full station. Train fits into the gaps: between classes, on a lunch break, the night before your interview. Each rep is a minute or two on one habit, and today's three are picked from your own recent answers, with the reason.
11 drills across four skills. Your best score sits on each drill, and five sessions of a drill earns its method.

Live
A spoken conversation with an AI interviewer that listens, adapts and asks the next question based on what you said.

Shanaka definitely saved me when I was preparing!!
I found the structure of the course so helpful and it reduced a lot of stress and uncertainty that I had. I would definitely recommend using all of the resources because these are super valuable and ensured I was on the right trajectory in regards to all of the sections. Shanaka had so many tips and tricks, and I found doing one-on-one sessions occasionally really helped me because we were able to identify my personal strengths and weaknesses and set goals for the next week or so. I highly recommend this course to everyone!

InterviewMD helped me get into Med School!!!
Before I found InterviewMD, I was really worried about preparing for my medical school interview since I had never sat for an interview before and had no idea where to start. However, my experience with InterviewMD completely transformed my approach. I loved how tailored the feedback was to my responses; it wasn't just general advice but specific insights that helped me refine my answers and improve significantly.

InterviewMD got me into Medical School!
Before I found InterviewMD, I was really anxious about my interview preparation. I worried that I might come across as robotic and rehearsed, and I questioned whether I could handle unexpected questions under pressure. I didn't want to walk into my interview relying solely on hope, I needed real preparation. What surprised me most about InterviewMD was the genuine support I received from Shanaka and Namreetha. They went beyond just teaching me what to say; they helped me understand how to approach my responses authentically.

Don't think twice!
Shanaka helped me to prepare for my interview for med school and it was one of the best training I have ever done. He helped me to better understand myself and play to my strengths. His approach is different in that it's not just about learning the tricks and techniques but really using your own character to your advantage. He made the whole process fun and even helped to to end up enjoying the interview. Would recommend to anyone without skipping a beat.

Changed my entire mind. Made me evolve into what I know I can be
I improved in ways I didn't even think possible. For me personally, Shanaka felt like a big brother type of role and supported me in medicine and aspects and more importantly life aspects. I truly believe my whole character and personality has changed and evolved from the things I learnt from the course and Shanaka himself. I'm happy because this program really did change almost everything about me in a beneficial way
