Practise coding problems too

Most technical rounds include a coding task. Write JavaScript or Python, run it against tests in your browser, then read a full solution.

React interviews check whether you understand how rendering works, not just the API. Expect questions on when components re-render, how state updates, and, for senior roles, React 19's Actions and Server Components.

What do React interviews test?

  • Freshers: JSX, props, useState, controlled inputs, effects and lifting state up.
  • Intermediate: memoisation, context re-renders, useReducer, refs, keys, error boundaries and rendering strategies.
  • Pro: Server Components, useActionState, useOptimistic, the React Compiler, hydration, transitions and large lists.

How should you prepare?

Build a small app as you go and break it on purpose: mutate state, drop a dependency, render a random number on the server. Seeing the bug yourself is the fastest way to explain it in an interview.

How to prepare with these quizzes

  1. Practise first. Each quiz page lists every question with its answer and explanation hidden until you open it.
  2. Take the timed test. One question at a time, a timer, a question map, and “mark for review”, like an online assessment round.
  3. Read your report. Your score, pass mark, time taken, and which topics and difficulty levels you dropped marks on.
  4. Retry what you got wrong. Rerun only the missed questions until they stick. Your past scores stay in this browser.
