  • Perform a system check here before you start your test.

You can also refer to the below article to understand how to solve the MCQ questions on the HackerRank platform. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions. We recommend you go through these questions first to resolve your queries. If your question is not addressed here, please reach out to eventsupport@hackerrank.com. We will help you with your concern.

 

Before the test

Your Recruiter may enforce proctoring for your HackerRank Test. Proctoring allows your Recruiter to monitor your focus on the test screen and detect any malpractices during the test.

There are two types of proctoring enabled for the GS Engineering campus hiring program in 2023. 

Tab Proctoring 

Tab proctoring will be enabled for your test; hence we advise you not to switch tabs in between while taking the test, as the same will get captured in your report, resulting in disqualification for the next round.

Proctoring or Webcam Proctoring 

The GS Engineering campus hiring program 2023 is a proctored test, and you must enable your webcam to take the test. Please note that you cannot start the test if the webcam is not enabled for your system or if you have a faulty webcam installed. Adding to that, below are a few things that you need to understand before taking a proctored test.  

a. Always ensure that you sit in a well-lit area and that your face is visible during the test. Before starting the test, we ensure you sit in a well-lit environment. Below are some examples of the ideal and non-ideal scenarios which explain how you should sit for a proctored test.  

Not Ideal: Blocked webcam

You will have already received the link if you have completed your registration successfully on the Goldman Sachs portal with all accurate details and are eligible for the program. Recommend checking other folders (including spam) in your email service. If you still cannot find the invite, it could mean that you are not eligible for the test at the moment. 

If you miss your test slot, it won't be possible for us to reschedule the test. We recommend you make yourself available for the test 10 minutes before your scheduled time slot so that you don't miss taking the test. 

If you have received multiple invites for this test,  you can take either one of those. You must ensure that you don't take this test twice.

During the test

All the work you submitted before losing the internet connection will be saved on our servers. After the internet connectivity is resumed, you can log on to the test again (if it is not past the test completion time) and resume answering the questions. The test timer does not stop ticking when you are offline, and the test ends at the scheduled time. We advise you to use a backup internet connection in the worst-case scenario, as you can not retake or extend the duration once the given time is over. 

This message usually shows up when you have an unstable internet connection. We recommend you check your internet connection before joining the test. If your internet is working fine but you are still getting server errors, please reach out to eventsupport@hackerrank.com.

This may happen due to poor or no internet connection at your end. We recommend you check your network strength before starting the test. The test login page might not load in the unlikely event of downtime of the HackerRank server as well. You can check our website status over here.

Whenever you type the answer for a multiple-choice question, the HackerRank interface saves your answer immediately. Learn more about the auto-saving functionality from here.

It is not possible to extend the test duration. We advise you to be prepared ahead of the test to avoid unwanted scenarios like loss of Internet connectivity or electricity to ensure you complete your test in the given time. Please go through the test preparation checklist shared above to help yourself be well-prepared for the test.

After the test

Goldman Sachs will review your test attempt and get back to you with your test result as soon as possible. Advise you to be patient during this period.

Note: We advise you to write to us only at the mentioned email addresses. Writing to the general support of HackerRank or Goldman Sachs will not warrant a reply. We wish you all the best for the test.
