You don't need to test how well people do the easy stuff - even if the easy stuff makes up most of their work - you want to test if they are able to do the difficult parts.
- sidlls 10y agoMost of the "difficult parts" have almost nothing to do with the kinds of textbook algorithms and dynamic programming trivia these sites test.
- user5994461 10y agoDo not bother testing the hard stuff. Test for the easy to average stuff. e.g. Ask people to print numbers from 1 to 10. Then kick the 20% of applicants who couldn't do that :D Source: I had to correct a batch of HackerRank tests for one company.
