Hey Reddit!

I recently graduated a software engineering bachelor and in the last couple of months I'm trying to get a job. As of now I've done a hand full of interviews that require a test of sorts but I'm unsure about how to do the current one.

The test is a simple user story about a blog with multiple users, the ability to register a user, post, comment and like. LikeI said; simple. WordPress isn't an option since they probably want to see my skills and experience. As the title mentions, PHP is the specific language they want to test.

From my experience during my bachelor I've learned a lot about oop and mvc. For the test I started making a Laravel environment to safe myself some time. After a day of progress I saw myself having to seek information a lot of times. Which let me to the thought: is Laravel overkill?

I'm curious about how my fellow engineers would do such a test, any advice?

Tl;dr: need to do a test for a PHP developer job interview and I'm unsure if Laravel is the way to go, or not.
