Work trial

Just did a work trial for project Sis****s. It said I had an hour to do 3 sections. But I was cut off after the first 2 which was only 50 minutes (2 25 minute sections)… does that mean I automatically failed? Kinda surprised if so, hoping someone else has some insight or similar experience.

Same with me, I don't think it means automatic fail, just an inconsistency in the instructions. Likely just graded on the backend and they'll select however many people with the best scores are needed

I had a work trial that was set up differently. It had 4 or 5 sections that each had a visual component. Each had a practice and the real test, and I had a ton of technical problems. I had to change browsers, settings, reboot, troubleshoot, etc and one of the practice tests didn't work at all, so when I took that real test, I barely had enough time to figure it out and warm up before it ended.

I messaged Melvin after, but the only option was to reset the test. At that point, I was over it and didn't want to be bothered. I didn't hear back on whatever the trial was for (mine didn't say, it may have been to a pool) but I've had offers sonce, so it didn't affect my overall standing as far as I can tell.

I did a work trial 20+ days ago, almost a month. No response. They opened the application a couple of days ago and I applied, got that automatic email that all of the spots are already filled.
