    Knowledge

    The test was very good. It helps me to learn and sharpen my skill of time management. It's very good to know and check the knowledge of any candidate. But, I think it would be better if the test time is increased to 30 minutes.

    Knowledge and ability accuracy

    I like numbers, so maybe that's exactly the reason I love to solve them. Solving them is so much fun. I think my weakness is that I'm way too detail-oriented. I try to accomplish everything and I just want everything to be perfect.
