You can write it, but you may not be able to pass all tests.
We have long been focusing on OA and technical written examinations for large manufacturers Practical guidance , covering mainstream evaluation platforms such as HackerRank, CodeSignal, and Niuke.com.
The focus of the service is not on "the number of questions", but on the dismantling of problem-solving ideas, time allocation strategies, reminders of error-prone points, and support for multi-language implementation ideas in real OA scenarios to help candidates perform stably in a high-pressure evaluation environment and pass test cases as completely as possible.
For students who are exposed to OA from major manufacturers for the first time or who have been stuck in the evaluation stage many times, this kind of technical support that is close to the real process is often more efficient and controllable than simple self-study.
