2-Day-trial simulation
Match each case in "2-Day-trial simulation" to the signal and response that fit it.
Step 1 of 3
Cursor's actual decision round is a paid 2-day in-person trial: you ship a real project alongside the team, share meals and present it. It exists to reveal genuine passion and whether you can ship from week one.
You can't fully simulate the in-person part, but you can rehearse the part that's graded hardest - scoping ruthlessly, building something polished, taking feedback mid-stream and presenting it cleanly. Run this as a single focused day on a small AI-dev-tool feature.
