Find a study partner who actually shows up.

PrepYak pairs you one-to-one with someone prepping for the same exam, in your timezone, at the hours you actually study. Then you climb together.

Matched on exam, timezone and schedule. Not on luck.

How it works

Three camps to the summit.

Camp 1

Set up base camp

Two minutes: your exams, your timezone, the hours you actually study and how you like to work.

Camp 2

Walk the trail

A ranked list of people who fit, with the reasons spelled out. Same exam. Same hours. Same style.

Camp 3

Climb together

Send a request. When they accept, chat, share files and keep each other honest until exam day.

Why PrepYak

Matched on facts, not luck.

Every match explained

No “looking for a study partner” posts vanishing into a feed.

We score every pairing on five things you can see. Open anyone's profile and the number is broken down, so you know why 86% is 86%.

Your hours, not just your timezone

We look at the actual hours you study and find people who are awake and working then.

Serious people only

Everyone states an exam, hours per week and study times. People who won't show up filter themselves out.

Mutual opt-in

Nobody can message you until you accept their request. No cold DMs, no awkwardness.

Every exam, everywhere

20 exam communities in one place, from UPSC and GATE to the MCAT and the LSAT.

Study your way

Pick a style. Get matched with people who work the same way.

Pomodoro Sprints

Timed 25-minute bursts with short breaks between.

Deep Focus

Long silent blocks, minimal talking.

Discussion Based

Talk through problems and explain concepts aloud.

Accountability Check-ins

Share targets at the start, report back at the end.

Side-by-Side

Study on camera together, each on your own work, no talking needed.

Mock Tests

Timed practice papers followed by joint review.

On the trail

What a week with a partner looks like.

UPSC CSE

Two aspirants in Delhi who write one answer each evening and swap them at 9pm.

Coding interviews

A night owl in Toronto and an early bird in Bengaluru. Seven overlapping hours, two mock interviews a week.

NEET

Mock test every Sunday morning, then a joint review of every wrong answer before lunch.

Illustrative pairings. Yours will look like your exam and your week.

Your study partner is one request away.

Free for students. Two minutes to set up your base camp.
