Kira 注意事项 和 WUSTL 个人总结题库 面经 [2017.02.03]

楼主申请的是MSF，大部分学校都要求kira interview.之前完全没有听过，论坛上看到很多吐槽它有多坑的帖子，在使用过程中也有很多问题，在网上没有找到解决的方案。

陆陆续续做了6所学校的kira，总结了一点经验。

在这里给大家来个总结，还有几个常见问题的个人解决方法。

KIRA

1.kira 是什么？

一个大部分学校会用来做提交申请后，面试之前的单方向视频小面试的应用。

在申请后，学校会给你一个链接，点击进入后就是kira interview的网页版。筒子们可以使用网页版或者app进行面试。建议网页版，角度会比较好。但是如果在之后测试硬件时怎么都搞不定，还是用app吧。app在apple store里有，名字就是kira interview，绿色图标，很有辨识度，我就不贴图了。
安卓系统的市场里我没有用过，但是听说好像没有。

下面说一下用网页版进行的步骤：
在录制视频前，一共有3-4项准备工作。按顺序完成后才可以点击下一项。

第一项是 : 一般是一个学校的简介，你申请哪个就是他们自己录的一个介绍。我经常点开了加载不出来，并不是什么大问题。看不到也可以继续进行，没有影响。

第二项是 : kira这个应用要求你自已注册一个这个网站的用户。邮箱最好使用你的申请邮箱。很简单，也没有验证码什么的好像。

第三项就是 : 出现很多问题的硬件测试关，包括了测试你的浏览器，是否安装adobe flash，测试上传和下载的网速，测试摄像头和麦克风。

第四项是 : practice，每次会有两个问题，需要注意的是practice的要求可能和真正录制时的要求不一样。比如：practice是准备30s，录制1min，但是正式录制可能是录制1.5min。

做完所有准备工作后，就是真正的录制时间啦~录制的问题个数和形式不同的学校帖子都会有。

大家可以看看每个学校的具体帖子，做好充分准备。

如果用app的话，你需要用你注册这个软件的邮箱和一个access code进行登录。
access code是: 在打开网页版后的所有准备项下方的一行小黑字，一般是4位，所以学校提供的网页链接是不管使用什么方式都要首先打开的。输入这两个信息后，就会直接进入你的pratice页面。这就是用app的好处，不需要调试硬件，节省的时间都是2-3个小时啊啊啊。（楼主个人情况）
pratice是: 两个问题一周期。可以多次测试。之后直接进入正式录制。

2. 网页版的device setup 怎么搞！

第一 :是折磨的楼主已经学会了淡定。一边搞都能一边干点别的了。
首先，需要装chrome或者firefox浏览器，或者有这两种浏览器内核的其他浏览器，一般建议这两种为好。

第二 : 需要在浏览器内安装adobe flash插件，就是看视频的用的。如果大家不知道有没有装的话，提供一个傻瓜办法。随便打开一个视频网站，随便点开一个视频，能看的话就是装了，不能看浏览器会自动提示你安装，点击同意安装就行了。
这里插一句，有的时候kira会提示你关闭电脑防火墙和浏览器的广告拦截装置（忘记英文说法了，但是是这个意思），照做，网上有教程。

第三 :就是测试download和upload的速度。
大家会看到一个圆，左边一半是下载速度，右边一半是上传速度。一个圆只要能走完，就是胜利，不管颜色怎么样。圆可能是一半灰一半绿，也可能是都绿或者都灰。绿色表示网速ok，灰色表示网速可能比较慢，也就是说有上传失败或者较慢或者卡顿的可能性。 一般上传会比下载慢很多。
如果发现圆走完了但是没有反应，稍等一下，因为可能网页会有延迟，一般1分钟内会搞定。

如果还没有反应，请果断刷新吧。不靠谱解决办法有两个：
1. 提高网速，搞个100M的带宽如楼主也会有失败的时候，还是经常。
2. 早晨5点起床，实测在早晨5-7点的时候经常很快。
其他解决办法：
1. 去网吧，但是呢，楼主去网吧可能是因为网吧设置问题，打不开这个网站...比较奇怪。
2. 试试试！今天不行明天来，总有一天网速快。

第四 :测试摄像头和麦克风。网站上这两项是分开测试的，楼主一起说了。
1. 摄像头很容易，网页会有提示，允许使用摄像头，选择记忆这个选项，adobe就会显示你的摄像头影像了。如果不行的话，看看是不是电脑问题。没有出现提示的话，在影像窗口上右键选 择设置。

2.测试麦克风是disaster。
所以楼主有个小建议，在测试摄像头时，adobe会出现让你设置允许使用摄像头的小窗口，不要设置完就关掉，选择麦克风标志的小选项卡，将音量调到最大，打开回音消除。

然后自己说话听听，看看你能不能听到自己的声音，能的话一般麦克风测试成功的几率会变高。在测试摄像头的时候设置是因为楼主在测试麦克风这一项的时候永远打不开adobe的设置小窗口。
测试麦克风时，如果你的声音有被记录，影像窗口右下方有一个小麦克风，说话的时候会由白色小点出现。

如果网页说你没有声音，说话也没有小点，别急。可能是耳机没插好。
用 https://www.onlinemictest.com/这个网站测试，不是广告，kira官网也是这么说的，贴出来省的大家麻烦地去看帮助了，大部分是没有用的！

调试好耳机，如果有声音后，kira会让你听听看有没有自己的声音，楼主负责任的说，我一次都没听见。因为上面的进度条总是不动不播放，可能是因为太卡了。所以我都是直接选可以听到。只要大家在上面adobe设置时能听到自己声音，用skype测试时也能听到，应该就没有问题。别担心，之后practice时你是可以回看的，看到自己的时候能听到你说的话就ok啦~

为了方便search楼主加几个keyword大家可以忽略： kira microphone setup cannot catch hear 麦克风调试失败 听不到声音 不能录入

以上是硬件没出问题时的部分解决方案，请大家选择性参考，有帮助最好，没帮助的话，大家转战app吧，超级快，角度不好找个自拍杆也挺好的~

这是楼主血和泪的教训啊！给大家作参考。

面经

下放楼主申请的部分学校的面经，自己整理，按内容分了个小类，大家如果思路不同，可自行再次整理。除了pitts是skype面经外，其他是kira面经。

面经题目千千万，一个小建议。分类。经历类的用自己的每个经历对应不同的问题，大大降低工作量。

其实学校的问题一般就是个人问题，经历问题，还有why us。
