You have 13 minutes to answer 10 questions. Each question describes a workplace situation and four possible responses. For every question, select the response you believe would be MOST effective and the response you believe would be LEAST effective. There are no trick questions; judge each response on how well it would work in the situation described.
About this test: this is one of a set of practice tests covering the areas Micron Technology’s assessment process typically includes. It is written by us: it is not Micron Technology’s own assessment and these are not Micron Technology’s questions.
Question 1 of 10
You are a test analyst. A supplier who provides the test devices has told you the twelve you ordered will arrive a week after the date the team agreed with the customer. You are mid-way through a test run due this afternoon. Nobody else knows about the delay, and the customer’s date was agreed on the basis that the devices arrive on time. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: D. Tell whoever agreed the customer's date now, in one message, that the devices are a week late, then go back and finish this afternoon's run.
Least effective: B. Keep the supplier chasing it and leave the customer's date alone for now, since the delivery is their commitment and a week can often be pulled back.
A: Ranks a run that has no external date above one that has: the customer's date is the thing at risk, and tomorrow is a day less to do anything about it.
B: Passes the problem back to the supplier and stops there: the team that promised the customer a date still does not know the devices will be late.
C: Publishes to nobody in particular: the people who agreed the customer's date have no reason to be reading the channel this afternoon.
The most effective response is to tell whoever agreed the customer’s date, in one message, that the devices are a week late, then go back and finish the run. A week’s slip against a date already given is somebody else’s problem to solve and they cannot start until they know. It beats finishing this afternoon’s run first and raising the delay tomorrow, because a day lost is a day of options lost and the run carries no external commitment. It beats putting the supplier’s email into the team channel and carrying on, because a channel post is not the same as telling the people who made the promise. The least effective response is keeping the supplier chasing it and leaving the customer’s date alone: it is worse than either of the other two, because both surface it somewhere eventually, while this leaves the people holding the date entirely unaware. The principle: when a supplier’s slip lands on somebody else’s promise, the promise-holders are told first and told today.
Question 2 of 10
You are a test analyst. A batch of two thousand records has to be checked against the customer’s own list before a migration. Checking them properly means a day of work. Checking a sample of two hundred takes an hour and would almost certainly find any systematic error. The migration is tomorrow and nobody has said which is expected. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: D. Ask whoever owns tomorrow's migration whether a sample or the full batch is wanted, so that the trade is theirs, and do whichever they choose today.
Least effective: A. Check the sample of two hundred and report the batch as checked, since a sample finds any systematic problem and a full check would cost a day nobody has.
A: Breaches the check where it counts: the report will say two thousand records were checked against the customer's list when two hundred were.
B: Spends a day without asking whether it was wanted: nobody has said which check is expected, and the migration date belongs to somebody else.
C: Records the limit and decides the question: the note is honest, and the choice between a day and an hour was still made by the person with least standing to make it.
The most effective response is to ask whoever owns tomorrow’s migration whether a sample or the full batch is wanted, and do whichever they choose today. Nobody has said which check is expected, and the trade of a day’s schedule against a class of error a sample might miss belongs to them. It beats checking the full two thousand and letting the migration slip by a day, because that is a real cost to somebody else’s date and they have not been asked whether they will pay it. It beats checking the sample and noting that two hundred of two thousand were done, because an honest note still leaves the decision with the person least placed to weigh it. The least effective response is checking the sample and reporting the batch as checked: it is worse than either of the other two, because one does the fuller check and the other records what was done, while this reports two thousand records as checked when two hundred were. The principle: when the choice is between somebody else’s day and somebody else’s risk, ask them, and never let a report describe a check that was not performed.
Question 3 of 10
You are an information security assistant. A customer’s request to remove a former employee’s access has sat for three weeks because it needs a signature from a manager who himself left the company last month. You are the only person who has worked out why it is stuck. The customer stopped chasing a fortnight ago. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: B. Tell your supervisor today that the approver left the company and the request has been stuck three weeks, and ask who signs in his place.
Least effective: C. Leave the request in the queue without telling anybody why it has stalled, since the customer has stopped chasing and an approver leaving is not something you caused.
A: Keeps the customer informed and the block unmoved: the update is honest, and three weeks becomes four while you hunt for something your supervisor already knows.
C: Stays silent on the only explanation that exists: a former employee still has access, and the reason nobody can fix it lives nowhere but in your head.
D: Restarts the clock instead of removing the block: it is transparent and it costs the customer another wait for a problem that would simply recur.
The most effective response is to tell your supervisor today that the approver left the company and the request has been stuck three weeks, and ask who signs in his place. The block is a named absence, she holds the list of alternative signatories, and one conversation converts three lost weeks into a signature. It beats emailing the customer a short update while you keep looking for the right approver yourself, because an honest update does not move a request and the person who can has still not been asked. It beats closing the request and asking the customer to raise a fresh one, because that meets the same missing approver. The least effective response is leaving the request in the queue without telling anybody why it has stalled: it is worse than either of the other two, because both put something in front of somebody, while this leaves a former employee holding access and keeps the only explanation in your own head. The principle: when a block is somebody’s absence and you can see the way round it, the customer going quiet is not permission to stop.
Question 4 of 10
You are an automation tester. A fortnight of long days has left you behind, and a colleague’s slow answers to your questions are part of the reason. Yesterday you were sharp with her in front of two other people and you know it showed. This morning the delivery coordinator asks you in passing how the testing is going and why it is running late. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: A. Say the testing is late, give the reasons including your own part in it, ask for either more time or fewer tests, and apologise to your colleague for yesterday.
Least effective: C. Raise her pace with the delivery coordinator behind her back, and let him decide whether she should stay on this piece of work for the rest of the fortnight.
B: Absorbs a problem that has grown past you: a fortnight of long days is not something you can fix privately, and the person who could reprioritise has just asked.
C: Personalises the pressure: it turns a workload problem into a judgement on a colleague, delivered to somebody with power over her and without her in the room.
D: Points at a cause you will not name: it is fair to you and useless to him, because he cannot act on a bottleneck that has been described but not located.
The most effective response is to say the testing is late, give the reasons including your own part in it, ask for either more time or fewer tests, and apologise to your colleague for yesterday. It gives the coordinator the real cause and the choice between time and scope, and it deals with yesterday rather than leaving it under everything else. It beats saying only that it is behind and that you have it in hand, because a fortnight of overrun is exactly what the person asking is there to resolve. It beats saying the delay comes from waiting on answers without saying whose, because a cause described but not named cannot be acted on. The least effective response is raising her pace with the delivery coordinator behind her back: it is worse than either of the other two, because both keep the conversation about the work, while this makes it about her, to somebody with power over her, in a conversation she is not in. The principle: under pressure, take the workload to whoever can change it, and take anything about a colleague to the colleague.
Question 5 of 10
You are a procurement assistant. A colleague’s summary says a supplier’s licence renewal will cost eleven thousand pounds. From the quote you read last week it looked closer to nineteen. The summary goes to the budget meeting on Thursday. He is prickly about being checked and the two of you share a desk. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: C. Ask him today which quote the eleven thousand came from, since the one you read looked closer to nineteen, so that whichever of you is wrong is sorted before Thursday.
Least effective: B. Avoid the conversation and let the summary go, since the quote may have changed, he is prickly about being checked, and the gap will surface at renewal.
A: Goes round the one person who can settle it in a minute: he finds out from the chair that his figure was questioned behind him.
B: Avoids the difficult conversation: a budget is set on Thursday on a figure eight thousand pounds out, and the difference surfaces when it is too late.
D: Edits a colleague's work without telling him: the number may end up right, and he presents a summary he no longer recognises.
The most effective response is to ask him today which quote the eleven thousand came from, since the one you read looked closer to nineteen. One question settles which of two quotes is being read, it costs a minute, and he is not corrected in front of anybody. It beats sending a note to the chair saying the licence figure may be understated, because he can resolve it immediately and this way he learns his figure was doubted from somebody else. It beats rechecking the quote yourself and putting the corrected figure into the summary, because changing a colleague’s document without telling him leaves him presenting something he has not seen. The least effective response is letting the summary go because he is prickly about being checked: it is worse than either of the other two, because both get the figure examined before Thursday, while this lets a budget be set eight thousand pounds out because the conversation would be awkward. The principle: when a colleague’s number looks wrong, ask the colleague, and their being prickly is a reason to be careful how you ask rather than not to.
Question 6 of 10
You are a site reliability assistant. A customer’s overnight job has failed and the ticket has come to you because your name is on a runbook you wrote a year ago. The job belongs to the data team. You have an incident summary due at four. Reading the ticket and either fixing it or telling the data team what the runbook covers would take twenty minutes. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: B. Spend twenty minutes now reading it and either fix it or tell the data team what the runbook actually covers, so that the customer's job runs tonight.
Least effective: C. Pass the ticket to the data team without reading it and get back to the summary. The job is theirs, and the runbook was written a year ago.
A: Corrects the record and leaves the job failed: the ownership note is accurate, and the customer's overnight run is exactly where it was.
C: Passes the problem on without owning it: they receive a failed job with none of the context that only the runbook's author has.
D: Holds a ticket you have already understood: the context is captured and the customer waits until after four for something you could have said at once.
The most effective response is to spend twenty minutes now reading it and either fix it or tell the data team what the runbook actually covers. Twenty minutes is affordable against a four o’clock deadline, and you are the only person who knows what that runbook does and does not cover. It beats replying on the ticket that the runbook is out of date and the data team owns the job now, because a note about ownership does not make the overnight job run. It beats reading the ticket, adding what you know and holding it until after four, because once you know the answer, sitting on it costs the customer a night. The least effective response is passing the ticket to the data team without reading it: it is worse than either of the other two, because both add something they could use, while this forwards a failed job with none of the context only you hold. The principle: when you are the person who knows what a document means, twenty minutes of yours is cheaper than anybody else’s hour.
Question 7 of 10
You are a release coordinator. A fortnight ago you emailed a supplier asking them to confirm that their system would accept a new file format from Monday. They have not replied and nobody has asked you about it since. In today’s planning meeting somebody asks whether the supplier has confirmed, and Monday’s plan depends on the answer. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: C. Say you asked a fortnight ago and have had no reply, and offer to chase them straight after the meeting, since Monday is not safe on what you have now.
Least effective: B. Confirm that the supplier is ready without checking again. Silence from them usually means agreement, and saying otherwise would stall a plan that is sound.
A: Delays a fact the room needs now: the plan being made in front of you rests on this answer, so checking afterwards means it is built on nothing in the meantime.
B: States as fact something nobody has told you: the room will now plan Monday around a confirmation that does not exist, and no one else can see that it does not.
D: Passes an open item you own to somebody else: the room is told the truth, but the chase you started a fortnight ago now has no one committed to finishing it.
The most effective response is to say you asked a fortnight ago and have had no reply, and offer to chase them straight after the meeting. The room needs to know the confirmation is missing before it plans around it, and offering to chase keeps the open item with the person who opened it. It beats saying you will check after the meeting and come back later, because the plan is being made now. It beats saying you have had no reply and asking whoever owns the supplier relationship to take it from here, because handing the chase over in the same breath leaves nobody committed to a fortnight-old question. The least effective response is confirming the supplier is ready without checking again: it is worse than either of the other two, because both leave the room with an accurate picture, late or incomplete, while this supplies a confirmation that was never given. The principle: when you are asked whether something was confirmed, answer about what actually arrived, and take the chase back yourself.
Question 8 of 10
You are a procurement assistant. A new tool your team wants must be signed off by two named reviewers before it can be bought, which takes about a fortnight. The supplier’s quoted price rises at the end of this month, four days away. Nobody has asked you to do anything about it; you noticed the date on the quote yourself. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: D. Tell your manager today that the quote expires on Friday and ask whether the review can be brought forward, so that somebody who can decide that is deciding it.
Least effective: A. Start using the trial version on live work now and put the paperwork through afterwards, so that the price is locked in before the reviewers ever reach it.
A: Builds a workaround round a control: the fortnight is not an accident, it is the two reviewers, and this puts the tool into real use before either of them has looked.
B: Asks once and treats the answer as out of your hands: the reviewers do not know the deadline is real, and nobody who could reorder their week has been told.
C: Absorbs a cost nobody chose: the extra spend is real and avoidable, and the people who would have wanted the choice never find out it existed.
The most effective response is to tell your manager today that the quote expires on Friday and ask whether the review can be brought forward. The deadline is real, the decision about hurrying a review is not yours, and telling the person who can make it costs one message. It beats emailing the two reviewers about the price date and waiting to see whether either gets round to it, because reviewers who do not know a date is at stake have no reason to reorder their week. It beats letting the price rise and buying at the higher figure once both reviews are done, because a rise you saw coming and mentioned to nobody is a choice made by default. The least effective response is starting to use the trial version on live work and putting the paperwork through afterwards: it is worse than either of the other two, because both leave the reviewers in front of the decision, late or expensive, while this puts the tool into live use with neither having seen it. The principle: when a control is in the way of a real deadline, take the deadline to whoever owns the control, not round it.
Question 9 of 10
You are an automation tester. Two colleagues have each spent a day writing a test for the same new screen, neither aware of the other, and both have now asked you to review theirs. You have three hours before your own deadline. Reviewing both would take all of it. Reviewing one and telling them would take twenty minutes. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: D. Tell them both that they have written the same test, and offer to review whichever one they agree to keep, so that your three hours are not spent twice over.
Least effective: C. Review neither and assume the pair of them will spot the duplication themselves, since they are both capable of it and you have your own deadline to meet.
A: Pays for their duplication with your own deadline: the evening is a real cost, and at the end of it the team still has two tests for one screen.
B: Chooses for them without telling them there was a choice: one of them spends tomorrow wondering why their day produced nothing anybody wanted.
C: Assumes the problem away: they have each worked a full day without noticing, so the evidence is that they will not spot it, and both days stay wasted.
The most effective response is to tell them both that they have written the same test, and offer to review whichever one they agree to keep. The duplication is the fact neither has, telling them costs a message, and reviewing the survivor fits inside twenty minutes with your own deadline intact. It beats reviewing both properly and letting your deadline slip by an evening, because an evening spent on two tests for one screen buys nothing that twenty minutes would not. It beats reviewing the better of the two and saying nothing to the other, because picking a winner silently wastes a colleague’s day twice. The least effective response is reviewing neither and assuming they will spot the duplication themselves: it is worse than either of the other two, because both produce a reviewed test, while this leaves two days of work unreviewed on an assumption a whole day has already disproved. The principle: when two people are duplicating each other, the cheapest thing you can give them is the fact, not your afternoon.
Question 10 of 10
You are a quality assurance analyst. A release slipped by three days and the incident note says a supplier’s late delivery caused it. They were late, by an afternoon. The other two and a half days went on a test rerun you started and abandoned twice. You have covered two roles all month, and your manager circulated the note yesterday. Which response below would be most effective, and which would be least effective?
Most effective: A. Tell your manager today that most of the three days was your own rerun rather than the supplier, and say what covering two roles has cost, so that the note is corrected.
Least effective: D. Let the note stand, since the supplier was genuinely late and correcting it now would cost your manager credibility for the sake of two and a half days.
B: Corrects it where fewer people will read it: the note has already gone, and a retrospective reaches the team rather than everybody who received it.
C: Raises a doubt without the fact that settles it: she cannot judge whether to reissue a note when she has not been told what is wrong with it.
D: Conceals your own part behind a true detail: an afternoon is being carried as three days by a supplier, and the one person who could say so is staying quiet.
The most effective response is to tell your manager today that most of the three days was your own rerun rather than the supplier, and say what covering two roles has cost. The note is wrong about who lost the time, it went out yesterday, and the month of double cover is the cause she can act on. It beats putting the detail into the next retrospective, because the note has already reached its readers and a retrospective reaches a smaller room later. It beats telling her the note is not quite right and asking whether it is worth correcting, because a doubt without the breakdown gives her nothing to decide with. The least effective response is letting the note stand because the supplier was genuinely late: it is worse than either of the other two, because both put the correction somewhere, while this lets a supplier carry two and a half days that were yours. The principle: a true detail does not make a false account true, and the pressure you were under is a cause to name rather than a reason to let somebody else carry it.
