FAQ

Common questions before you start

How long is an InterviewSkool interview?

A coding interview runs 50 minutes and covers two DSA problems in a live editor with hidden test suites. A system design interview runs 45 minutes and covers one open-ended design problem on a shared whiteboard. Both are scored on the same 12-dimension scorecard.

Do I need to create an account to start an interview?

Yes. Every session needs a signed-in account because your interview, recording and scorecard are saved to your profile. Sign in with Google and the session starts immediately, with no card required.

How many credits does one interview use?

One credit per interview, deducted when you press Start Interview. If you have no credits left you will be shown the pricing plans instead of starting a session, so you are never surprised mid-interview.

Can I choose which problems I get?

You choose the track, target company, level and language, and InterviewSkool picks the problems from that pool. You can expand "What you'll be asked" before you spend a credit to see the exact two problems, and shuffle for a different pair.

Which companies and levels are supported?

Coding covers Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Microsoft, Uber, Atlassian, Oracle, Salesforce, Databricks, Anthropic, OpenAI, Rippling and Walmart at SDE-1, SDE-2 and SDE-3+. System design runs SDE-2, SDE-3 and Staff Engineer.

What languages can I code in?

Python 3, JavaScript on Node.js, Java 17 and C++17. Your code is compiled and run against the hidden test suite as you type, and Alex reviews your approach and communication, not just the final answer.

Can I try InterviewSkool for free before paying?

Yes. The free demo runs a 20-minute coding round with one problem, or a 30-minute system design round, using the same interviewer, editor and report as a paid session. It uses no credit and can be taken once per account.
