If the MCs felt easy, that's what you were doing wrong

The report you get is in comparison to people who got 75-80, not how you did in reality. Key for audit is not to overthink the questions and go with your gut.

How do you know you did well on MC? Sims on audit can be really variable. Kind of hard to prepare for. If you nail the MC, you don't need to worry about the Sims.

MCs are easy, but SIMS can be a joke if you're decent at researching.

@EY1 The fail report I received confirmed I knew the multiple choice. I could have done better on one section. I guess I'm looking for tips to do better on the sims.

I scored a 74 the first round (so pissed) I spent a majority of my time redoing the multiple choice then a little bit of time on sims. I figured out in my situation that I needed more help with the concepts so once I knew those the sims seemed easier (tax peep here)

Do you have advice on how to interview better with Amazon?

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now. However, it seems like I’m not making it past the first 1:1 interview. 3 out of 4 have resulted in not the right fit for reasons unknown; they don’t provide any feedback either. I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?
