Description
Aced is the new name for Exponent, an interview preparation platform for technology careers. The site identifies itself directly as "Aced (formerly Exponent)" and says it "helps you land your dream tech career" through "interview courses, thousands of real questions, AI-powered practice, and expert coaching," continuing the same interview-prep focus the brand built under its old name, with the same domain, tryexponent.com, still serving the product.

The platform organizes its content by role and topic, with dedicated tracks for product management, software engineering, data science, machine learning, system design, and newer areas such as AI engineering and forward deployed engineering. Course material draws on input from "technical leads and product owners at hundreds of tech companies," and includes more than 100 recorded video answers showing how real candidates responded to actual interview questions, alongside written interview guides and thousands of practice questions for specific formats like system design interviews.
Beyond self-paced courses and AI-powered practice, Aced offers expert coaching that matches candidates with mentors from top companies, including mock interviews, resume reviews by senior tech recruiters, and salary negotiation support from what the site calls expert negotiators, aimed at people already in a role who want to move up or switch companies. Courses also carry a certificate of completion. The platform includes a community area where candidates share interview experiences and questions.
Aced says it has been used by more than 600,000 people, and separately describes its community as more than 500,000 candidates who have landed jobs at top companies. It lists universities including Stanford Graduate School of Business, Columbia Engineering, and Yale School of Management among the schools that trust it, and candidates use it to prepare for interviews at companies such as Google, Meta, Amazon, and OpenAI.
Aced offers free courses and accounts, with a separate paid upgrade for additional resources; the site does not publish specific plan names or prices for that upgrade.
