For entry-level programmers, having a solid foundation in at least one programming language is crucial for success. Candidates who grasp core programming concepts are better prepared to tackle more advanced challenges as they progress.

This entry-level programming assessment evaluates a candidate's ability to implement a simple algorithm, testing their foundational programming skills. The challenge is designed to be language-agnostic, allowing candidates to use any of the supported coding languages on our platform. Employers can configure the assessment to enable specific programming languages that align with their organization's needs. Candidates, in turn, can select from the enabled languages to showcase their strengths and comfort level.

The test provides sufficient time to complete a straightforward coding task centered around basic algorithms. The submitted code is assessed against a series of test cases, with candidates encouraged to create their own test cases to verify their approach.

This assessment serves as a valuable tool for screening candidates based on their foundational programming abilities. It helps employers identify individuals with the potential for growth and further skill development.

For a more comprehensive evaluation, we recommend pairing coding tests with at least one of our cognitive ability assessments, such as those measuring numerical or analytical skills, to gain deeper insights into a candidate's overall capabilities.
