How to prepare for our Online Aptitude Test?

The purpose of the online aptitude test is to evaluate the candidate for specific professional and technical skills. As the whole experience may be completely new to many, it can be very overwhelming. Sure, it is an important criterion for shortlisting the best candidates, but we assure you that with a little preparation the wild horse can be easily tamed.

Here are our tips and tricks to crack the online aptitude test:

  1. Know the test format:

    • The assessment will be divided into 4 sections as below:
      1. I. Problem-solving 1: 1 question, 50 marks
      2. II. Problem-solving 2: 1 question, 75 marks
      3. III. Aptitude: 10 questions, 50 marks
      4. IV. SQL: 1 question, 25 marks
    • For Problem-solving I & II, you can use any language: C, Clojure, C++, C++14, C++20, C#, Erlang, Go, Haskell, Java 7, Java 15, Java 8, JavaScript (Node.js), Julia, Kotlin, Lua, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Pypy 2, Pypy 3, Python 2, Python 3, R, Ruby, Scala, Swift, TypeScript
    • All sections must be attempted and carry equal importance in the evaluation process
  2. Take a deep breath: Once you’re logged in, take a moment to relax and focus.

  3. Test yourself/try a mock test: for practice. Sharpen your problem-solving skills by familiarizing yourself with platforms like HackerRank etc. It will help to crack the online test.

  4. Knowing as many Tech Stacks: Practice and pass as many tech stack tests as possible. Knowledge on multiple tech stacks would increase your chances to clear and be eligible for various positions.

  5. Do not attend the test using a mobile/tablet: It is mandatory to take the test through laptop/ desktop only.

  6. Check your device: Avoid last-minute problems! Whether you’re using your own computer or the one in a lab, check that it has all the correct hardware and software well in advance of the exam. Also, make sure you have good internet connection.

  7. Time management: While attending the test, limit your time to each section as allotted for the actual test, and decide how long you will spend on each question.

  8. Identify a quiet spot with minimal distractions to take the test: Turn off all notifications from your phone, your email, and elsewhere (or, set them to silent mode). Switch off the TV. Let your roommates or family know that you’ll be taking a test, so that they’re less likely to interrupt you during that time.

  9. If facing any technical problems, don’t panic: Contact your instructor immediately, detailing the exact problem and any error messages you might have received. If you can take a screen shot that will be very helpful.

  10. Check your work before you submit it: Ensure that every answer is complete and appears as you intended. Review the accuracy of your answers.

  11. Click submit: Usually, you should be able to do it in one attempt, but if there is a problem, try once more. If you still have a problem submitting the test, let your instructor know immediately.
