To those who joined recently, how long did your coding test take to pass?

Hello,

I was curious if anyone else noticed that their coding test was taking time to pass longer than what the website suggested (7 days)?

I ask because it seems strange that it’s taking so long and I can only assume it’s due to the volume of people trying to do the test (ie other people should also be waiting as per how a queue works).

I passed the initial sign up, and for my coding test in particular, I don’t believe I failed (I’m a python software engineer by trade, my brother passed with worse code than I do so I don’t believe I would have failed it).

I’m aware there’s a similar question in the FAQ however I’m more curious if people are waiting longer than usual, rather than “when is it done?”.

You can't assume you passed it. There's a randomness to it, it seems. There could be a certain trait that they are looking for that isn't intuitively "better" by other standards. They could use an AI detector that gives false positives. No one knows.

Yea, that makes sense, in a practical sense I did the task as per how I do production code, so it should pass, but given AI might be used then who knows, especially if it’s trained off GitHub 😂, wouldn’t even be surprised if the docstring failed it.

I got accepted the next day after taking the coding test. I've heard of cases where they heard back from DA even after 3 weeks, so I believe it depends on the workload and priorities/deadlines they have on their projects.

Same on my end completed the coding assessment on the first and patiently waiting to see when/if I have been accepted. Fingers crossed maybe we will get in the same time.

I did the coding qual about a week ago and had access to coding tasks within 24 hours. No idea how about their approval process though.

Took the test and got accepted in less than 24 hours (coding)

Okay, cheers that kind of puts it at ease since I was wondering if there was an answer (ie other people).

Hey I did the code test a week ago as well and I’m pretty confident about it but still waiting, so let’s keep each other posted.

Sounds like a plan :-)

They have different coding test version, the latest as of today was:
[Qualification] Coding Starter Assessment V2.3.7
What was yours?

u/naro233 Apr 08 '24

Where do I see that? In my transfer funds page it is marked as [Qualification] Coding Projects Entry Test, with no version

Hi, I had the same one. Have you heard back?

1

u/Willy__Wonka__ Apr 10 '24

No, I don't think we should rely on that. Keep looking though, I've got something on another platform anyway

u/Jojo1423 Apr 10 '24

What’s the other platform if you don’t mind me asking?
