Here are three pseudocodes for calculating the Nth Fibonacci number. Which of the following statements about these codes are true? A: Time complexity/efficiency of CODE 1, CODE 2, CODE 3 is the same. B: CODE 2 is more space-efficient than CODE 3. C: CODE 3 is more space-efficient than CODE 2. D: CODE 2 is more time-efficient than CODE 1. E: CODE 3 is more time-efficient than CODE 1.
Hard Palindrome Test cases Strings	Solve
Go through the following faulty palindrome detection pseudocode and test cases. For which of the test cases would the code return true? Testcases A: a B: aba C: aaa D: aac
Medium Rewards Activities Order Database Connection Concurrency Transaction Management	Solve
A new popular app tracks the activities performed by its users and grants them rewards based on each individual's total activities performed in a year. This data is maintained in a database table (activitesinfo), with the following columns: userid, totalactivities, reward. This year, due to fundraising activity, the company has decided to further reward its users by enhancing the reward as per the following formula: If reward < = 4000, increase it by 2%, If 4000 < reward <= 8000, increase it by 4%, If reward > 8000, increase it by 6%. The tech team has written three different scripts to calculate increment for each slab, each script is to run as a separate transaction. Here are the three scripts: Script 1: For users with reward <= 4000, set reward = reward * 1.02 Script 2: For users with reward > 4000 and reward <= 8000, set reward = reward * 1.04 Script 3: For users with reward > 8000, set reward = reward * 1.06 Each script is to be executed separately. Which of the following options will update the rewards as expected: A: Execute Script 1 followed by Script 2 followed by Script 3 B: Execute Script 2 followed by Script 3; Script 1 running concurrently throughout C: Execute Script 3 followed by Script 2; Script 1 running concurrently throughout D: Execute Script 3 followed by Script 2 followed by Script 1 E: Execute Script 2 followed by Script 3 followed by Script 1

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

What experience level can I use this test for?

Each Adaface assessment is customized to your job description/ ideal candidate persona (our subject matter experts will pick the right questions for your assessment from our library of 10000+ questions). This assessment can be customized for any experience level.
