Advice from candidates

19 pieces of advice, in their own words. Names removed.

  • Remember that you don’t have to answer all the questions, just aim to get 80% or more correct.

    test · 2024-25

  • Fast coding is essential, as the questions were very easy, but must be solved in 30 minutes. (15 mins. per question)

    test · 2024-25

  • Please don’t fake your Resume by writing things you aren’t 80% confident about. Every company will ask you about your projects. You just have to explain how those projects are somehow related to the company’s work.
