This depends on what the exercise tests. For datastructures and algorithms, yes maybe. We use a test where the most advanced data structures you will likely use are dictionaries and sets, and even those aren't necessary. The main thing the exercise tests is how do you structure a chunk of non-trivial business logic such that other engineers can understand it and reliably contribute to it. We assess this through code review, looking at the architecture and abstractions used.
