1. Can I open the test link now and give the test later?
You can open the test link; however, your test does not start unless you click on the Start Test button. In many cases, the test links have a predefined time, and you will only attempt it within that time. Once you start the test, the timer cannot be paused.

No. The test has to be given in one go.

7. Why is the camera needed for the test?
Our tests have an image proctoring feature, which generates images of the candidate when the test is attempted. The recruiters use this feature to make sure that the candidate does not cheat. Besides this, your test may have Video Interview questions; this requires a camera and mic.

Yes, however, this option may or may not be provided by your test administration. You can only move to the
next question in a single view question test if you answer or skip that question. In multiple views, you can
switch between the questions and even mark a question for review.
2. What are the different color codes for questions
You can also use the filter to switch to Unanswered Questions, Marked for review, and answered questions.
3. The test has stopped working, page not responding; what do I do?
Typically this can happen due to loss of internet connection or server failure. You can close the browser and click on the link again to restart the test—the test restarts from where it was stopped. Your earlier data will be saved. If the problem persists, you can write to us at with your issue.
4. My test was terminated for window/image violation; what do I do?
Usually, your recruiter or test admin sets a window/image violation limit. This means that if you open another
window when the test is being attempted, your test will be terminated. Similarly, the test will be terminated
for image violation. The termination of the test depends on the limit set by the recruiter.
If this happens,
you can request your recruiter for a reattempt of the test. Please note only the recruiter /test admin has the
right to reschedule your test. In case there is no window violation, and still, you faced issues while giving
the test, please write to us at [email protected]

No. After the test completion, the test admin may opt to send you the test score.

Your data(answers) up to that point will be submitted. You will be assessed based on that.

No. Once the section is submitted, you cannot revisit it.
1. Can I select the coding language for the test?

2. Can I change the coding language in the middle of writing code?
You can, but the previously written code will be lost.
3. I clicked Compile and Run, and it worked fine. Does that mean I will score 100 %?
