Hi there,

It is a necessary but not sufficient condition to get invited to interview.

If you did poorly, it's extremely unlikely you move forward.

If you did amazing, that doesn't inherently mean you move forward.

You have to do good/well and the rest of your application also has to be good.

Based on what you have said it is highly unlikely you move forward (sorry).

Hi there, 

Q: Can I still move further in the application process with a good performance in the interviews, or is extremely unlikely?

If you are doing the test together with the interviews, you should be assessed based on both. Most likely, if you don't reach a minimum score on the test, they will reject you. Regardless, I would focus on doing the best you can in the interview, as that's the only thing you can control at this stage.

Good luck!

Actually, the process works like this in most geographies now - meaning they assess the results of the test together with the application. 

That said, your test results were not dreadful, and there is still hope, assuming the application package is strong (CV, CL, referral, etc.).

But the smartest thing to do at this point is to be forward-looking and focus on what other applications you could send out. 

Below is a guide I share with my candidates on how to put together their application strategy. Hope you will find it helpful:

Hi there,

In the GEO, it's evaluated in combination with the first interview. They always had less of an inclination to solely rely on tests vs. seeing people perform in person (similar to the former PSTs).

That being said, a poor Solve performance can usually not be outweighed by a positive interview. 

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome!

1. The game is an additional datapoint. By itself it is not a go/no go. But can be the deciding factor depending on the rest of your application

2. The game is not used to decide whether you pass or not an interview. It is used as a screening tool to decide whether you get the chance to interview or not. If you have an interview invite, it means that you passed the screening stage.
