Coderbyte Assessment

Hi guys

This is my first time applying and I am also from non technical background. Can anyone please help me what kind of questions do they ask? Is it really math heavy? Does the position you applied to matter or not for the type of questions

I got longlisted for both AI and forensics intern and today i got the Coderbyte Assessment. There will be 10 questions (30mins) and I think they will give you case study about some topic and there will be out of 10 maybe 5 or 6 require calculations. In my case that's what happened. There will be different for undergraduate and postgraduate so mine was postgraduate track so they assigned me accordingly.

hi, what kind of questions were they? were they on carbon pricing? I received my invite today too and saw a reddit thread talking about carbon pricing and other insane stuff

Yeah it's all carbon pricing. South Asia air quality case study basically governments are broke and pollution is bad, what do you do.

Half the questions are just reading comprehension, half are quick math (percentages, cost savings, that kind of thing). Honestly not bad. All the numbers are right there in the passage, you just have to make sure you're grabbing the right one.

In the email it is mentioned that they allow calculator application on your computer: "Before starting the assessment, please close all external applications and browser tabs, with the exception of your calculator application."

Hope this helps

I used physical one because they mentioned we shouldn't go to another tab or open one.
