naijanoni:

I like the fact that they get back to you whether you qualified or not, unlike most companies.

true, many naija coys suck at giving

DonPikko:
But why are the tests being repetitive?, andela is supposed to be setting different questions for different cycles

Andela doesn't set the homestudy test questions except the google form one maybe. Qualified.io does.

flashBang:


Oh! you definitely don't know andela that much. if you finish the test very late, regardless of your performance, you will not make it in unless you are lucky that only few people finish before you and only few perform better than you.
it has been tried on multiple s with same answers and solutions to all questions. For the first test, only the ones that finish within 30mins to 1hr is more likely to make it to next stage.

As for second test, if you finish after 2hrs, your chance of making it drops tragically.

Want to know why? the questions have become repetitive and many people already have the answers perfected in advance and they just copy/paste.
After the test is scored based on performance, then there is a further cut-off based on time...... believe it or not.

When gold becomes common it loses its value. likewise, your performance means nothing when too many people are performing equally or even better.

This is false. I once spent about three days on the qualified.io test. I was serving in a village and there was no light. The timer read 15hrs or so and I ed

naijanoni:

You might be right u know.
According to this mail I got (regarding my unsuccessful interview), only the top 10% from the second test make it through to the interview.
So time might be part of their criteria.

10,000+ ? jeez

As stated in the challenge it says "You are NOT implementing the core functionality yet..." then wny are we then using JavaScript if we're not to implement the core functionality?

what are you using JavaScript for?

Am not too sure that's why I asked you.I used JavaScript for button clicks...how did you go about urs? Why I asked is because the challenge stated that we use HTML, CSS and JavaScript and on the key note, it stated that 'You are NOT implementing the core functionality...' Can you explain it clearer

And andela would say you need no coding experience to apply? This is a lie of the highest order.

actually, it's not a lie. You don't need coding experience to apply... as long as you have the brain of Einstein, Newton, Bill gates and Dexter put together

I'm not part of that cycle, are you clear on how to go about it now?

that's why there's home study

Are you part of cycle 36 ?

DonPikko:
that's why there's home study

sheygz:

cycle 37, still on qualified io test

DonPikko:
that's why there's home study

lol. Yes. But for a complete novice to cover and perfectly understand half of the materials in the homestudy and become at least decent in programming, it could take over a year. So yes, it is not really true that you dont need to have any prior experience/knowledge. A novice cant master half of what is in the homestudy between the period of application and assesment tests/bootcamp.

yeah, you are right, even me i'm trying to adjust to the tools they use for front end, i do backend mostly, also i noticed i need to understand some core computer science concept, since i didn't study comp science, its like andela bootcamp is fullstack, also you can be programming for almost a year, and still not meet andela's standard, andela is seeking for excellent devs, not just one backyard developer, lol.

also the rate of unemployemnt is increasing the number of applicants, thats why the application process keeps getting tough

How can I andela? Yet to get a on cycle 37 whether or fail

maigemuu:

I don't think thr is need to them

shimmer1:



For the Google form or qualified io?

Which is the google form? I have submitted the home study test, I guess qualified io should be next, but or fail, person no sabi his fate.

Make I apply to the next sef...

So true I can relate
