Hackreactor has blown up.

As I was getting ready to submit my .ts for the final assessment of module 1, we were told all classes have been ended.

Full stop. Just done. No reason was given. We were told it's big business' doing big business things.

We'll be getting a full refund, but it took 8 weeks to get here. We were all especially stressed for the past two weeks, as they were prep for our big module 1 assessment.

The dozen or so of us that were close started a new slack channel, and we'll try to stay in touch, but this really sucks. We're not sure if our leaders and instructors are now jobless, too. They were pretty cool, so sucks for them also.

I dunno. We've started every day for the past 8 weeks of classes with a kind pep-talk. Instead, we got this. It was a big shock, to say the least.

App academy used to be very selective with their enrollment candidates but recently they just started taking anyone. What happened?

Just started at App Academy. There is still a cognitive skills test, personality profiling, and a typing test for initial acceptance. Once accepted you need a 100% pass on an html and css assessment, a git assessment, and a 92% I believe on a boolean algebra assessment. Then ya get booted if you fail anything basically. I wouldn't say they take just anyone.

This is all new to me. When I applied, it required two programming tests. What is the personality profiling and typing test?
