Medium Data Merging Data Merging Conditional Logic	Try practice test
A data engineer is tasked with merging and transforming data from two sources for a business analytics report. Source 1 is a SQL database 'Employee' with fields EmployeeID (int), Name (varchar), DepartmentID (int), and JoinDate (date). Source 2 is a CSV file 'Department' with fields DepartmentID (int), DepartmentName (varchar), and Budget (float). The objective is to create a summary table that lists EmployeeID, Name, DepartmentName, and YearsInCompany. The YearsInCompany should be calculated based on the JoinDate and the current date, rounded down to the nearest whole number. Consider the following initial SQL query: Which of the following modifications ensures accurate data transformation as per the requirements? A: Change FLOOR to CEILING in the calculation of YearsInCompany. B: Add WHERE e.JoinDate IS NOT NULL before the JOIN clause. C: Replace JOIN with LEFT JOIN and use COALESCE(d.DepartmentName, 'Unknown'). D: Change the YearsInCompany calculation to YEAR(CURRENT_DATE) - YEAR(e.JoinDate). E: Use DATEDIFF(YEAR, e.JoinDate, CURRENT_DATE) for YearsInCompany calculation.

Medium Normalization Process Normalization Database Design Anomaly Elimination	Try practice test
Consider a healthcare database with a table named PatientRecords that stores patient visit information.

To achieve 2NF, remove partial dependencies by separating Patient information (PatientID, PatientName) and Doctor information (DoctorID, DoctorName) into different tables. B: The table is in 2NF. To achieve 3NF, remove transitive dependencies by creating separate tables for Patients (PatientID, PatientName), Doctors (DoctorID, DoctorName), and Visits (VisitID, PatientID, DoctorID, VisitDate, Diagnosis, Treatment, TreatmentCost). C: The table is in 3NF. To achieve BCNF, adjust for functional dependencies such as moving DoctorName to a separate Doctors table. D: The table is in 1NF. To achieve 3NF, create separate tables for Patients, Doctors, and Visits, and remove TreatmentCost as it is a derived attribute. E: The table is in 2NF. To achieve 4NF, address any multi-valued dependencies by separating Visit details and Treatment details. F: The table is in 3NF. To achieve 4NF, remove multi-valued dependencies related to VisitID.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Teradata Online Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

Science behind Adaface tests

Reason #6

1 click candidate invites

Email invites: You can send candidates an email invite to the Teradata Online Test from your dashboard by entering their email address.

Public link: You can create a public link for each test that you can share with candidates.

What topics are covered in the Teradata Online Test?

Teradata
Teradata is a powerful relational database management system specifically designed to handle large amounts of data. It provides a scalable platform for high-performance analytics, data warehousing, and real-time data processing. This skill should be measured in the test to ensure that candidates have a strong understanding of how to work with Teradata, including its architecture, data manipulation, and performance optimization.
SQL
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a programming language used to manage and manipulate relational databases. It allows users to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data from a database. Measuring SQL skills in the test is important as it is an essential language for interacting with Teradata and performing various database operations.
Database Management
Database management involves the tasks related to designing, organizing, and maintaining databases. It includes activities such as creating and managing database schemas, optimizing database performance, ensuring data integrity, and implementing security measures. This skill should be measured in the test to evaluate candidates' ability to manage and administer databases effectively.
ETL
ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) is the process of extracting data from various sources, transforming it into a suitable format, and loading it into a target database or data warehouse. It is an essential skill to measure in the test as it demonstrates candidates' ability to handle data integration, data cleansing, and data quality during the ETL process.
Data Modeling
Data modeling is the process of creating a conceptual representation of data structures, relationships, and constraints to support efficient and accurate data management. Measuring data modeling skills in the test is crucial as it assesses candidates' ability to design logical and physical data models that align with business requirements and promote data consistency and integrity.
Data Analytics
Data analytics involves analyzing and interpreting large volumes of data to uncover insights, trends, and patterns that can drive business decision-making. It requires skills in statistical analysis, data visualization, and data mining. Measuring data analytics skills in the test is important as it assesses candidates' ability to derive meaningful insights from data using various analysis techniques.
Data Integration
Data integration refers to the process of combining data from different sources and providing users with a unified view of the integrated data. It involves extracting, transforming, and loading data from disparate systems into a consolidated data repository. Measuring data integration skills in the test is crucial as it evaluates candidates' ability to handle complex data integration scenarios, ensure data consistency, and mitigate data quality issues.
Data Migration
Data migration is the process of transferring data from one system to another, typically during system upgrades or transitions. It involves extracting data from the source system, transforming it into a compatible format, and loading it into the target system. Measuring data migration skills in the test is important as it assesses candidates' ability to plan, execute, and validate data migration activities while ensuring data accuracy, completeness, and integrity.
Teradata Utilities
Teradata Utilities are a set of tools and utilities provided by Teradata for various data management and processing tasks. These utilities include FastLoad, MultiLoad, FastExport, and more. Measuring Teradata utilities skills in the test is relevant as it evaluates candidates' familiarity and proficiency in using these tools to enhance data loading, data extraction, and data processing capabilities.

Teradata Hiring Test FAQs

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

Do you have any anti-cheating or proctoring features in place?

We have the following anti-cheating features in place:

Non-googleable questions
IP proctoring
Screen proctoring
Web proctoring
Webcam proctoring
Plagiarism detection
Secure browser
Copy paste protection

Read more about the proctoring features.

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.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.
