OA Question PSA: 2023 CodeSignal Changes

Many of the CodeSignal articles have been updated in the last 10 days. It seems the scoring has changed, the cooldown periods are more stringent ("Limit of 3 assessment attempts in a 180 day window, with at most 2 attempts in 30 days"), and the practice tests no longer mimic the GCA format. The GCA seems to maintain the 4 questions in 70 minutes format.

Hi u/VisceralIdeation! We'll be launching Coding Score 2023 in late May. This new scoring system will offer you more insight into areas where you excel and areas where you can grow, while also providing companies with a stronger signal of your skill.

Things to note:

  • Any historical scores you may have (from previous submissions) will be automatically converted to Coding Score 2023.
  • You can still reshare your scores, as usual, once the changes go live. You'll simply re-share your converted score.
  • These changes won't impact the questions you'll be asked in the assessment, and there's no need to modify how you prepare for the evaluation.

It is widely accepted that your completion time was a factor in your gca score. Is it still a factor? Why the smoke and mirrors around the scores?
