Lloyds Codility test

Hi guys, I have to take the Lloyds codility test for the DS grad scheme 2024 soon. I was wondering if anyone has taken it in the past. What’s the difficulty level like and how many questions are asked. What topics of python & SQL should I focus on. Please share some sample questions as well. Thanks x

Hey! You can find the Lloyds 2024 grad scheme thread here. Also, I think they've got a demo test you can try before you attempt the test, so perhaps that might be useful for some practice? I didn't try the demo test, so I couldn't tell you what the questions are. I personally found the actual test to be on the easy side, so don't stress too much about it! All the best!

Have you done the test yet? How did you find it? I haven't heard back yet, but I'm not expecting to hear back any time before the end of the year, based on the timeline that last year's applicants faced. I'm also not confident that I did well for the video responses, so I'm honestly not expecting anything at this point!

Hi @bettysparkless, I have the AC in a few days and was wondering if,
1. How the format is like
2. Is it purely coding via codility and nothing else?
3. What sort of questions were asked
4. What did you use to prepare for it?
5. How soon did they reach out after this stage?
6. Is your screen shared or window monitored during the session? Because I was wondering if using StackOverflow etc is allowed/not
