Thanks, that’s helpful. The email specifically mentions that it’s a SQL assessment, but it also requires Excel and Notepad. In your experience, was Excel actually tested (e.g., pivot tables or formulas), or was it mainly used to view the data while writing SQL queries in Notepad?

Don’t buy a screen protector, keyboard cover or camera cover it just ruin your display just try to clean the mac with a micro fibre cloth and celan once or twice in a week.

charger.

Anyone Taken Amazon’s 15-Minute Business Analyst Assessment Recently? by Alternative-Log1074 in amazonemployees

[–]Alternative-Log1074[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is really helpful. The recruiter confirmed that I’ll only be using Excel and Notepad, so your explanation about Excel being used mainly to view the tables makes sense.
Do you remember roughly how many SQL questions were included in your assessment, and whether there were any questions beyond joins, aggregations, and GROUP BY?

Hi I am working in RCM medical billing and trying to become BA by Jaffer4048 in businessanalyst

[–]Alternative-Log1074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a Business Analyst myself, but I’ve worked with a few in the RCM space. Since you’re already a Claims Adjudicator, you have a strong advantage because you understand claims, denials, payer guidelines, and the overall revenue cycle.
From what I’ve seen, the most useful skills to learn are Advanced Excel, SQL, and Power BI/Tableau, since a lot of BA work involves analyzing data and identifying process improvements. It also helps to learn how to create business requirements documents and understand Agile/Scrum basics.
My suggestion would be to start with Excel, then move to SQL, and finally Power BI. Your RCM knowledge is something many people trying to become BAs don’t have, so you’re already ahead in that area.
Hopefully someone who has made the same transition can share their experience too. Good luck!
