The whiteboard challenge
After this you can take an ambiguous prompt and, in 45 minutes and out loud, clarify it, generate options, choose one and sketch it.
Why it matters
You are scored on how you think, not what you draw. The reliable structure: clarify the prompt and its constraints, state assumptions explicitly, define the user and their goal, sketch two or three approaches, choose one with a stated reason, walk the primary flow, and name what you would test. Ask questions throughout; silence is the failure mode, and so is jumping straight to a solution. Practise on a real whiteboard or in FigJam against a timer with someone playing interviewer. Trap: designing in silence for ten minutes. Narrate continuously, even when uncertain.
