It's not a single 90 minute test. It's a 90 minute test for every place you interview with, every single job cycle. This most recent round I had to find time for at least seven of these tests on my own time, and several I did a ~30 minute practice test ahead of time to get familiar with whatever subpar web-based coding experience I'd have to deal with for the test (I think there was 5 different ones I dealt with). I could have done three other tests as well, but those were >90 minutes and I just couldn't find the time or energy for it (Amazon's requires a dedicated 2.5 hours, for example). So effectively I spent roughly 12 hours just taking exams for my last job search, and basically let the house go to shit for a solid month since I was working on them (or prepping for interviews, or doing other things asked of me) basically every night, and had zero energy on the weekends to catch up much beyond a couple load of dishes. Compared to having to take a single bar exam, one time, that you cram for in the prime of your textbook knowledge, I'd take that any time.
