I did well on the test overall. However, in one section, I misunderstood the way the game works and ended up scoring very low on "Genorosity". I only realized later that I misread the instructions. Hence, I did not end up sharing money/resources with the other player.

How seriously is this test taken? Will Ithis hurt my chances?

Hi,

All sections are important and that's the exact reason why they have them there. So there is nothing you can do at this point

Hi,

Honestly, the best thing you can do now is just forget about it. Don't think about it until you get the feedback! I know, easier said than done.

That being said, the test is taken seriously and it is an important step in the screening. That also being said, you can "mess up" certain sections and still pass...it's mostly about them seeing how you think.

Seriously, don't waste any more time thinking about this...focus on casing + fit preparation so that you're ready for the next round!

Hello!

Unfortunately, nothing you can do about this anymore!

Only make mental note and learn from the mistake.

In any case, it totally depends on how bad this part was compared to the rest. The bad news here is that the test is being taken into consideration very seriously, and if it´s a no, you would not pass round.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hello,

Unfortunately the test is taken very seriously and it's not possible for them to understand that you misread the instructions. Anyway that is one part of a test that is only a factor of the overall valuation, so you still have some chances.
You can only wait for the result and hope that you performed really well in other sections. Fingers crossed!

Hi, the test is important, even if it is only one part of the application. Let's cross our fingers

Dear A,

All the section are counted in your final result, that means whether you can proceed to the next level of interview process.

For now, just simply leave it as it is. I'm sorry, but there is nothing you can do here. What you can think about - what lessons I can take out of this situation?

If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out.

Best,
André
