About the C (coding): language-specific concepts test
C is a general-purpose, procedural programming language that by design maps efficiently to typical machine instructions. It has found lasting use in operating systems and various application software for computers' architectures that range from supercomputers to PLCs and embedded systems.
This test gives you the opportunity to check your candidates' C skills and their familiarity with its unique features. It is geared towards mid-level developers. It is a great initial screening test that allows you to effectively screen candidates' procedural programming and memory management skills.
This coding test presents a real-life scenario to your candidates. They have 30 minutes to implement a piece of code that meets the given requirements. Candidates can run the code against a selected number of test cases to see if they are on track. After submission, the code is automatically scored based on another set of test cases that also covers exceptions or corner cases. You will be able to play back how the code came about in the coding editor.
We recommend using this coding test in combination with cognitive ability tests.

What our customers are saying
TestGorilla helps me to assess engineers rapidly. Creating assessments for different positions is easy due to pre-existing templates. You can create an assessment in less than 2 minutes. The interface is intuitive and it’s easy to visualize results per assessment.

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.
The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.
For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.
I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.
For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
