Hi Arty,
Agreed, hard to say. However, seems you only failed the 1st round of the 2nd game. It will really depend on how well you did in the 1st game as well as your overall candidate profile (resume, experience, referral, etc.)

Hard to say. But i think yes, depends on how well your first game went.
I think experts here who have large pool of candidates who did the test, can give you more precise answer
best of luck

Hi Arty,
It is difficult to comment as they also evaluate the steps to get to the final outcome and not only the final result of the games.
Having said that, I helped candidates in the past who did perform below 15 turns in one of the Plant Defense maps and passed anyway.
Good luck!

Hey there,
Yes, it is possible, however, from the outside always hard to judge.
What is in your favor is that you had better results in rounds 2 and 3, which demonstrates adaptability.
Fingers crossed for a positive outcome!
Cheers,
Florian
