This was the most difficult CodePad test I’ve ever taken in my life. There were 24 questions in 1 hour and 43 minutes. The SQL questions were very hard, with only about 5 minutes per question. I was really disappointed with the exam. It felt extremely tricky and difficult, and I don’t understand why they assess senior engineers with such tight time limits and tricky questions.
