Hi All, anybody knows what is the pattern of questions in the online test? I got a link of SHL portal test, for Senior Software Engineer profile, and the email reads- “avoid leaving the browser open for longer than 4 hours, which is the time limit for one session.”
Is it a 4 hour test? The email doesn’t give detail about test, and even the test link’s landing page doesn’t tell anything about test’s pattern/duration.

As per my experience, The test is for 1 hour and its done on some platform. There were 2 coding questions of easy to medium level.

One question was difficult level 🥲

Ok, I took the test, and the format was, two coding questions to be done on their coding platform. Time limit 60 mins, with laptop camera on and standard restrictions on going away from current browser tab.
First question was easy level, 2nd was difficult level. Problem is, first question was extremely easy, and second one was extremely difficult. First question was just a one-liner question, took me just 1 min to read the question and 1 min to write 3 lines code (for loop).

Second question was of Tree traversal concept, BFS/DFS kind. Basically one had to find shortest path and it had to be found for n number of values. If someone regularly practices DSA and has done Tree traversal programs then it would appear to be medium difficulty problem, but for those like me who hasn’t done programs on Graph/Tree concept and doesn’t practice DSA, it would be extreme difficulty level. I guess the solution had to use LinkedList in some form, but I was just stuck.

I think I won’t make it with just one program that too when it was a silly one-liner program :(

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
