Pramp alternative

A free Pramp alternative for peer mock interviews

Pramp made peer to peer mock interviews popular, and since July 2024 new Pramp sessions have been hosted on Aced Practice, from the team behind Exponent. If you want another free place to practise with real engineers, Practick works the same way at heart: you interview someone, they interview you, and nobody pays.

What Practick does differently

One candidate per hour: each 60 minute session interviews one person, so a hard problem or a full design round gets the whole hour
A guide for every interviewer: answers to clarifying questions, follow-ups with expected answers, numbers for system design rounds and a scoring rubric
Question bank: 600+ DSA and system design questions, plus low-level design and frontend rounds
Fixed evening slots in IST: Tuesdays and Sundays at 9 PM and 10 PM, so there is always someone to be matched with
No-shows: three strikes, and the person left waiting gets their credit back
Public interviewer profiles: running interviews builds karma and a profile worth linking to

Who Practick suits best

Software engineers preparing for DSA, system design, low-level design or frontend rounds who can join an evening slot in Indian time. If you need behavioural or product management practice, or slots in other time zones, a broader platform may suit you better.

You do not have to pick just one

Many people use a peer platform for weekly practice, a few paid sessions with senior engineers right before an onsite, and solo problem solving in between. Practick is built for the first of those, and it costs nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Is Practick affiliated with Pramp?

No. Practick is an independent platform. Pramp is a trademark of its owners.

Is Practick really free?

Yes. Being interviewed costs one credit and interviewing someone earns one. New accounts start with one free credit, and no card is ever needed.

Can I practise system design?

Yes. Choose HLD when you book. Your interviewer gets the opening prompt, the answers to your clarifying questions, the numbers to hand out, a ladder of follow-ups and a scoring rubric.

When are the interviews?

Interviews run on Tuesday and Sunday evenings, with slots at 9 PM and 10 PM IST.
