This is voluntary data, the average CS grad from Berkeley doesn’t need a code signal test to find a job. The cream of the crop at Swarthmore likely does.

In my experience, coding tests for fresh graduates is a pretty terrible metric for how well that person would perform as a member of a software development team for business applications.<p>Data&#x2F;science&#x2F;research is a different story with a different skillset.

whats the point of even caring about what school a person went to if you can rank candidates based on some test score?

I felt pretty proud of myself when I scored 99 percentile on a codesignal exam. Especially since I consider many of their tests to be more legitimate than leetcode.<p>Some of their tests though are odd. I don&#x27;t think the bugfix style is that good. But that also might be because I would just rewrite a buggy function

I&#x27;ve never heard of the General Coding Assessment. I don&#x27;t know anyone who ever put his or her score on a resume and have never heard of it from anyone in the valley.<p>What&#x27;s the point for a student to take it?

I&#x27;ve been out of software for about two years...is this test really now a thing or is this a submarine article to promote its use?
