Screen candidates with the highest quality questions

We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

How we design questions

These are just a small sample from our library of 15,000+ questions. The actual questions on this Data Wrangling Test will be non-googleable.

Solve
You are designing a data model for a healthcare system with the following requirements:
 image
A: A separate table for each entity with foreign keys as specified, and a DoctorPatient table linking Doctors to Patients.
B: A separate table for each entity with foreign keys as specified, without additional tables.
C: A combined PatientDoctor table replacing Patient and Doctor, and separate tables for Appointment and Prescription.
D: A separate table for each entity with foreign keys, and a PatientPrescription table to track prescriptions directly linked to patients.
E: A single table combining Patient, Doctor, Appointment, and Prescription into one.
F: A separate table for each entity with foreign keys as specified, and an AppointmentDetails table linking Appointments to Prescriptions.

Normalization Process
Normalization
Database Design
Anomaly Elimination
Solve
Consider a healthcare database with a table named PatientRecords that stores patient visit information. The table has the following attributes:

- VisitID
- PatientID
- PatientName
- DoctorID
- DoctorName
- VisitDate
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
- TreatmentCost

In this table:

- Each VisitID uniquely identifies a patient's visit and is associated with one PatientID.
- PatientID is associated with exactly one PatientName.
- Each DoctorID is associated with a unique DoctorName.
- TreatmentCost is a fixed cost based on the Treatment.

Evaluating the PatientRecords table, which of the following statements most accurately describes its normalization state and the required actions for higher normalization?
A: The table is in 1NF. 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.

Test candidates on core Data Wrangling Hiring Test topics

Data Extraction: Data Extraction is the process of retrieving relevant data from various sources such as databases, files, websites, or APIs. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's ability to efficiently gather required data for analysis and decision-making.

Data Parsing: Data Parsing involves breaking down complex data structures into smaller, meaningful components. It is crucial to measure this skill to evaluate the candidate's capability to extract specific information and manipulate data for further processing.

Data Integration: Data Integration refers to combining data from different sources into a unified and consistent format for analysis. Testing this skill helps determine the candidate's proficiency in merging datasets and preparing them for accurate data analysis and reporting.

Quality Assessment: Quality Assessment involves evaluating the reliability, accuracy, and completeness of data. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's ability to identify and rectify any inconsistencies, errors, or duplications in the collected dataset.

Data Validation: Data Validation entails verifying the integrity and accuracy of data by performing validation checks based on defined rules or constraints. Measuring this skill aids in evaluating the candidate's proficiency in identifying and resolving data quality issues to ensure data consistency and reliability.

Data Modeling: Data Modeling involves designing and constructing a conceptual representation of data to support efficient data management and analysis. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's ability to create structured data models that enable effective data organization, storage, and retrieval.

Data Interpretation: Data Interpretation refers to the comprehension and analysis of data to derive meaningful insights and make informed decisions. Testing this skill helps evaluate the candidate's capability to interpret data visualization, statistical analysis, and other techniques to extract valuable information.

Data Analysis: Data Analysis involves applying statistical and analytical methods to study, transform, and evaluate data for drawing conclusions and making data-driven decisions. Testing this skill helps assess the candidate's proficiency in using various techniques and tools to uncover patterns, trends, correlations, and outliers in the data.

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.

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.

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.

What is the cost of using this test?
