Built like the job, not like a quiz app

Most interview prep tools test recall. This one tests whether you'd survive the pager going off.

01

Pick a focus

Nine topics from administration to AWS RDS, three difficulty levels, or jump straight into a live incident scenario.

02

Answer like it's the room

Standard questions are scored against a weighted rubric. Scenarios run as a real back-and-forth: ask for the diagnostic you'd actually pull, and the incident responds.

03

See exactly what to tighten

Every answer gets a score, concrete strengths, concrete gaps, and a model answer, not just a pass or fail.

Scenario mode

Eight incidents. No script. Just an interviewer who only tells you what you ask for.

Ask for the right diagnostic and the incident reveals what it actually shows. Follow a wrong instinct, and the evidence shows that too. You're graded on the investigation, not just the answer.
