Programming test

Name: Anonymous 2009-05-07 15:00

I interviewed for my first programming job out of college and they asked me to come back and take a 2 hour long aptitude test tomorrow.

What do you think will be on that?

The test was a language-free programmer/Analyst aptitude test (or LPAT) (I am not sure if this is the exact test but i do remember seeing programmer Analyst on the top of the test)

It had questions that resembled Assembly, where you had to store data in memory locations and then add them. But it referred to it as "obtaining payment" and putting them in "drawers". It had about 8 constraints for example you have to store to "drawer n" before "drawer n-1". i.e. data cannot go into drawer 2 if drawer 3 is empty.

It also tested my ability with complex expressions and numerical analysis. And lastly it had questions that were similar to pseudo code and you were to give the resulting values of certain vars.
