Why session mode matters
Different interview skills require different pressure levels. Mode selection changes how you practice, not just what you solve.
The three modes
Self Practice
Best for learning a new pattern. Lower pressure, focus on understanding.
Coach Me
Best for structured improvement. Sophia nudges you through Clarify -> Plan -> Code -> Reflect.
Mock Interview
Best for simulation. Use when you already know the pattern and want communication + composure practice.
Which mode should you pick?
| If your goal is... | Use this mode |
|---|---|
| Learn a new pattern | Self Practice |
| Fix recurring mistakes | Coach Me |
| Prepare for real interview timing | Mock Interview |
Common mistake
Using Mock Interview too early. Simulation without fundamentals creates stress without retention.
Practice next
- Start in Self Practice.
- Use Coach Me for your weakest pattern block.
- Review outcomes and trends in Dashboard, then sequence next week in Roadmap.
