I took one of these recently, and botched one of the tests. Within 10 minutes after the timer was up, I had restarted my solution with a successful answer and was iterating on it.
The idea that the pressure is the same doesn't seem to apply to all applicants. Doing work under pressure within set times has been a strength of mine(ex. playing chess against higher rated players or when timer is low). I've noticed, however, that my skills fall apart during interviews. Once again, totally different contexts where you're being tested.

I am so tired of hearing the refrain that "we want to see how you work under pressure". Anybody who thinks that all pressure or stress is the same and that you can translate performance in one stressful situation into any and every other one has no business being near a hiring decision.
