Improvement doesn't mean making it harder. SAT questions don't get harder every year (ideally). They're just different. It takes effort to come up with something different and novel though. Most places don't.
Maybe that's what the industry needs.. its own SAT. Heck man, that would make interviewing a lot better. You take one brutal test over a few hours, get your score, and then apply to multiple companies. You don't have to do dozens of whiteboard code interviews. Job postings specify score ranges. There's different score components (algos vs system design, like math vs verbal).
I guess there are startups like triplebyte trying to do that, but they're not as independent as the SAT. They make money off hires.
- hello_moto 7y agoI would argue that we are going toward that direction with slightly different variation/format. Faang and multiple SV companies will ask 3-5 LeetCodes with 1-2 System Design. Some started to incorporate behavior question (like Amazon with 14 LPs)
