I usually swerve these however curiosity got the better of me and did two for Rethink Rec a few years back. passed the both with avg of 82% (pass was 75%) but heard nothing afterwards.
Wouldn't bother with them again.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

Depends how much time you have and your other options.
It's a good sign that they're testing you before any offer, means that it should be a decent place to work - but, yeah it's a hassle to do it.Comment

The problem is i'm still on gig and every test takes 4h+ . the last project i completed took me good 12h and completely nailed but didn't win the gig. So pretty annoying especially I want to have some free time for myself too
When you are on the market , do you do these tests or just interview with clients directly ?
Just did an IKM C language test and scored 99/100 putting me in the 98th percentile </boasting> Haven't heard back regarding an interview slot yet though...
