Candidate:

• Is it possible to take an assessment using a mobile device?+

  Taking a coding assessment using a mobile device is not recommended as it may not provide the best user experience due to limitations. Coding exams require specific hardware requirements like a keyboard and mouse, for ease of use. Therefore, it is highly recommended to take coding assessments on a desktop or laptop computer for the best possible experience.

• Is a webcam mandatory to take an exam?+

  Whether a webcam is mandatory to take an exam depends on the recruiter or test administrator. If proctoring is enabled, then a webcam is required to ensure the integrity of the test-taking process and prevent cheating. During the exam, a pop-up will prompt you to allow access to your camera, which is necessary for the validity of the test.

• Will my test be automatically submitted if I don't click on submit before the end time?+

  Yes, if you do not click on the "submit" button before the end time of the test, the system will automatically submit the test when time is over.

• Can I switch between questions during a test?+

  Yes, you can switch between questions during a test. However, once you have submitted your answer for a particular question, you cannot resubmit your answer for that question.

• Which programming languages I can use to take test?+

  The programming languages available for a coding test are determined by the recruiter. You can only use the programming languages that have been provided for the test.

• What does it mean when a question shows 50% or 100% passed after compilation?+

  It means that the system has run a series of test cases against the code you have submitted for that question. If all test cases pass, the question will show 100% passed, indicating that the code is correct for all possible inputs. However, if some test cases fail, the question will show a lower percentage indicating that there is something wrong with the logic of your code, and it needs to be improved.

• Can I resubmit a solution for a question multiple times?+

  You can compile your code multiple times to check your logic and ensure that it passes all test cases. However, you can only submit your answer once and cannot resubmit it.

• What happens if my internet connection is lost or there is a power failure while I am taking an assessment?+

  It is important to have a stable internet connection to avoid interruptions. However, if you do lose your connection, you can still log back in using the same exam link and resume the test where you left off. The time that is lost will still be counted against your total test time. It is recommended to have a backup internet connection or to notify the test administrator.

• How to report a technical issue during taking a test?+

  If you encounter any technical issues while taking an exam, you should immediately reach out to the CodexPro support team or test administrator. You can contact the CodexPro support team by sending an email to codex@smalldaytech.com.

• Will I able to see my result immediately after submitting an exam?+

  No, you will not be able to see your results immediately after submitting the exam.
