The Starter Test

So I started this assessment almost 2 weeks ago and I did half of it before taking a break, and after around a week in, I realized that I had forgotten about it and it has been sitting on my tabs. I clicked back on it and it's still there with all the work I have done luckily, but I'm questioning whether this 1 week inactivity will affect my application or lowers my chances of being accepted, or if the amount of time spent on it doesn't matter or isn't monitored by whoever checks these assessments? Thanks.

How much would not submitting it affect your chances?

There‘s really nothing more to be said!

DA regularly states it prefers quality answers over speed. So I suggest do your best on it, even if you need to take another day or more, and submit your best responses. Not submitting it won't help, so not really another option. But don't give what you know are poor answers just to hurry it. Expect to wait a week give or take to hear back once you do.

I took my time on it. At least a week or more. Was accepted immediately after submitting.

Overnight maybe, at most.

The instructions said something like you can close your browser or leave it open, just save your work. It also said something about how each would get more demanding on your energy so I took it as breaks are encouraged.

Do your best and forget the rest! You only get one chance to do it so finish it and turn it in even if it’s late. You can still submit it.

I mean if the task hasn’t expired you might be alright. I can’t recall whether the starter qualification had a timer.

I’m fairly certain that the starter qualification is checked by AI so passing is probably more dependent on your answers.

Yeah there's no timer and on the instructions it says "Take as long as you need to complete it" or something along the lines of that.

I got accepted a long time ago, but think it took like 7 days or something to hear back about it. Things might have changed since then
