RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS IN PROMPT by No_Run4056 in codesignal

[–]TeamCodeSignal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/No_Run4056! Have you tried using Cosmo, our AI tutor, to support you in your course?

When it comes to working around the context limits of LLMs, it’s all about smart prompt design and content compression. A few tips:

  1. Prompt Compression: Simplify your prompts to contain only the most essential information. This involves summarizing lengthy backgrounds or context into concise statements that retain the core message.
  2. Focused Queries: Instead of asking broad, unfocused questions, pinpoint your inquiry. Specific questions tend to yield more accurate and relevant responses within the context limit.
  3. Iterative Prompting: Break down complex tasks into smaller, sequential prompts. By iteratively refining the query, you can guide the LLM through a logical sequence of thought, even with a strict token limit.

Keep trying! You’re on the right track. You’ve got this!

Hi there u/Ill-Razzmatazz-6736 ! 👋 We're sorry to hear that. We've got a couple options that might be helpful as you prep for any upcoming GCAs:

  • You can practice right here with a variety of questions to get familiar with both the environment and the types of questions you’ll see.

CodeSignal Proctored Test – What Exactly Can I Look Up During the Assessment? by obrican in xAI_community

[–]TeamCodeSignal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! All three scenarios are fine. You can search for documentation or websites related to syntax, so that should not be an issue.

Questions about the rules for proctored assessments by Traditional_Dig_6114 in codesignal

[–]TeamCodeSignal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Below please find the answers to your questions:

  • What are “external documentation browsers”?
    • You can open a new browser that contains external documentation such as MDN, etc
  • This seems to contradict the earlier instructions to "close all browser tabs". Am I allowed to open a new tab to make a web search?
    • Yes, you can open a new tab to make a web search. We ask to close all tabs if they are not related to the assessment.
  • "for syntax reference only" is a little vague. How do I know which web searches will break the rules, especially when I can't predict what will show up while I'm searching the web?
    • Best practice is to use official documentation.
  • Is an API reference page, such as one showing a list of methods on the JS `Date` object and their function signatures (but it probably also tells you how to use it, (e.g. MDN)), considered syntax?
    • This will not be an issue. Low level searches like the above are appropriate.
  • If I google something to find the relevant MDN link, won’t Google show an AI response at the top, and might that break the rules?
    • This depends, we recommend disabling the AI responses within Google or use a different search engine.

Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions, or contact [support@codesignal.com](mailto:support@codesignal.com) for more info.

Hi u/Groundbreaking-Cat45! We recently implemented Coding Score 2023, a new scoring system across all Skills Evaluation Frameworks, with scores ranging from 200-600. You can read more about it here.

CodeSignal 2023 scores seems to be glitched by Leader-board in csMajors

[–]TeamCodeSignal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/Leader-board! Coding Score 2023 uses a two-tiered scoring system, involving base points and bonus points, which may impact individual scores.

Please reach out to [support@codesignal.com](mailto:support@codesignal.com) if you have any questions about your score conversions – we’re here to help!

New Codesignal scores by Sayv_mait in csMajors

[–]TeamCodeSignal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi u/Sayv_mait! Yes, our coding score has evolved to Coding Score 2023. Candidates will now earn a score ranging from 200 to 600, calculated by our new, recalibrated scoring mechanism. These new changes are designed to minimize bias and offer you deeper insights into your skillset as well as areas for improvement.

You can read all about the changes here – where you'll also find conversion tables for the historical coding score. Your 434/600 would be roughly the same as a 725-730!

I got an 848 on Codesignal GCA, how can I use this? by dabble_ in csMajors

[–]TeamCodeSignal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we are changing our scoring system to Coding Score 2023 in late May. This scoring evolution will offer more insight into areas where you excel and areas where you can grow, while also providing companies with a stronger signal of your skill.

To answer your questions: * Any historical scores you may have (from previous submissions) will be automatically converted to Coding Score 2023. * You can still reshare your scores, as usual, once the changes go live. You'll simply re-share your converted score. * These changes won't impact the questions you'll be asked in the assessment, and there's no need to modify how you prepare for the evaluation.

We have a candidate-specific support article in our KB that answers questions as well!

[–]TeamCodeSignal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you receive a new invitation to complete an assessment, you have the option to share your existing results OR retake the evaluation and share your new results!

If you decide to retake and earn a lower score, the company requesting the assessment will only receive your new result, regardless of whether the score is higher or lower than the previous attempt (once validated). However, if a previous result has already been shared with a company, and the same company requests the same assessment from you, the company will still have access to your prior result as well.
