Three steps from Pramp to AssertHired.
Step 1: Keep your Pramp account while you evaluate
Nothing to export and nothing to cancel up front. AssertHired runs alongside whatever you already use, so you can compare the two on the same week of prep and only drop one once you are sure.
Step 2: Create a free AssertHired account
Sign up with email or Google in under a minute. Your first QA mock interview runs on the free tier, no card required.
Step 3: Start with the category that matches your next interview
Pick from QA Automation, API Testing, CI/CD, Performance, or QA Behavioral. The AI calibrates to your level and scores you on dimensions QA hiring managers actually evaluate.
Making the switch.
Pramp works well as a coding supplement, but for QA-specific practice it leaves a gap. QA interviews ask about automation frameworks, test strategy, CI/CD integration, and performance testing, topics Pramp doesn't cover and peers can't reliably evaluate.
