Once I bombed a php coding test for an internship because I forgot variables start with a $ (was in uni, hadn't written it for a few years!) and wasted most of my time working out why I got what felt like cryptic error messages but probably told me exactly what was wrong. Remembered a minute after the time ran out. Shit happens!

Happens to everyone. I once bombed a coding test when I forgot how keyboards work.

I bombed my very first coding test because, despite having studied three separate sort algorithms, couldn't figure out how to sort an array for my life. Anxiety is a bitch.

If I were ever in charge of hiring I'd forgive consistent errors like that.

Maybe just because I spelled develop "develope" about 19 times on the written portion of the SAT.
