“StrataScratch has been super helpful. I started with barely being able to finish an easy SQL query to no problem solving most of the medium level in just a few days.”

“StrataScratch is hands down the best platform if you are preparing for or am working as a data analyst/scientist/engineer. Happy to share that I have gotten an offer from Amazon as a Data Analyst.”
Triman

“I really wanted to get into data analytics and data science but never really understood the importance of SQL. The questions are really very realistic and I was asked similar questions in my coding rounds.”
Hemant R

“SQL is something that is super important and plays a key role in Data Analysis. I used to practice 2-3 SQL problems everyday. The discussion forum and solution with clear understanding cleared my barriers.”
Vikram

“StrataScratch and the community really helped me prep for the interview — I ended up getting the Data Scientist internship!”
Joe

“StrataScratch is awesome! It's the first place I found that allows you to use python in addition to SQL. The Facebook questions were quite similar to the ones that I saw in my interview today.”
