Overview

Your hiring company uses our platform to design your HackerRank Tests. Therefore, the test pattern, the type and sequence of Questions, and the time allocated to complete a test are defined by the test setters. 

For candidates taking the company's assessments on the HackerRank platform, the test interface is intuitive and allows for easy navigation through the questions. During the test, the interface lets you revisit your already submitted answers for making modifications and allows resubmission. You can modify and submit your answers any number of times before the test ends.

Note: For Coding Questions, when you modify an already submitted code, you must re-compile the updated code before resubmitting. You can check here about Modifying the answers in a test.

Submitting answers to different Questions

Apart from the primary coding questions, your HackerRank Tests may also include various other types of Questions such as:

  1. Multiple-choice
  2. Diagram ( involving class diagrams and flowcharts )
  3. Sentence completion or Fill-in-the-blanks
  4. Subjective 
  5. File Upload (involves attaching files)

The following sections describe how to submit your answers and modify your submissions for all types of questions in your test.

Changing the answer and resubmitting

In some cases, if the time allocated for a section has elapsed or you have already submitted the answer, you will not be allowed to change the answer submissions.
