If you’re trying to prepare for a CBYX interview, here are some mock questions to help you practice.
*Remember: These questions are not guaranteed at any CBYX interview. They change the questions every year, but the questions they will ask at the interview are very similar to these. Practicing these can help you get an idea of what they might ask you at your upcoming interview*

-Germans are very reserved people, how do you plan on making friends and socializing at school?
-What would you do if your host sister/brother stopped asking you to hang out with him/her and go out on the weekends?
-What would you do if your host mother prepared for you a big nasty looking meal?
-What do you think are the effects of constantly Skyping your friends and family back home in the U.S?
-If you could bring one thing to Germany with you, what would you bring and why?
-What do you do that causes tension within your household?
-How will you deal with homesickness?
-If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be and why?
