It's not about getting it correct, it's can you get in the correct ballpark and you can evaluate what your doing. Is it, now? In many of these sessions you are unequivocally dinged for having a less-than-perfect answer by the time the bell rints. Or if there is some fuzzy acceptance standard in the back of their minds somewhere -- they certainly won't condescend to tell you what it is. Instead, what you usually get is: "Uhh, hi. Here's a Google Doc. Can you type a fully working implementation X for me while I boredly watch? BTW I don't normally program in the language you're programming in and so probably shouldn't be doing this session with you anyway, as that will only work against you. But then again, it's not like I care -- I'm just doing this because they told me to."
