It's hard to take this site seriously when its "skills tests" are such jokes. My image keeps getting removed, so here's the text:
"John eat 2 pieces of apples a day. Now, is Thursday, but he remembered the his apples left after eating apples during Monday are 30 pieces after that, he gave the half of all his apples to her daughter. How many apples left, if today is Friday after eating the two pieces of apples?"
What? On top of that, a couple other questions had duplicate choices for the correct answers, making it impossible to know which one was supposed to be selected. These were, at the time (and maybe still are), graded automatically with no question-specific feedback.
The worst part is it costs $ to take these tests, which at first seemed reasonable since the idea is the tests are one way you can show your knowledge and value to prospective clients. Freelancer refused to give me my money back and instead offered a voucher for another test. Luckily it was just a few dollars, and to be fair, they were clear about the no refund policy beforehand, but the level of unprofessionalism regarding these tests is atrocious. They advertised these tests as being well constructed and a worthwhile use of time instead of a bunch of words arbitrarily vomited onto the page. I can't in good conscience recommend this site to anyone.
