How our Data Science online tests work
Every DevSkiller Data Science online test is powered by the RealLifeTesting™ methodology. This in-house technology works by testing candidates with real-world working scenarios that they would likely encounter on their first day of work. What’s unique about this methodology is that it provides insight into the candidate’s practical coding skills, critical thinking, time management, instead of focusing on academic knowledge.

What to look for in a data scientist
Data Science is used primarily to make both decisions and predictions by making use of predictive causal analytics, prescriptive analytics, and machine learning. A data scientist is responsible for exploratory data analysis, machine learning & advanced algorithms, and data product engineering.
First and foremost, data scientists need to be critical thinkers in order to objectively analyze the data before forming an opinion or rendering judgment. Data scientists candidates should also be proficient in coding and be comfortable handling varied programming tasks. Although a broad knowledge of programming languages is preferable, Data Science is moving towards Python while R is also prominent. Proficiency in both mathematics and statistics is vital for a career in Data Science. Finally, experience with machine learning, deep learning, and AI is favorable for a data scientist candidate to possess. With the speed at which industries are moving in these areas, a data scientist must stay in front of the curve in research, as well as understanding what technologies to apply and when.

Interested in our Data Science coding interview questions but still aren’t sure?
We understand that making recruitment decisions for your company is not easy and should be considered before jumping straight in. If you’re still not sold on DevSkiller Data Science coding interview questions then hear what some of our satisfied customers have to say:
Veriday
Veriday is a customer engagement and financial services technology (fin-tech) company specializing in products and solutions that transform customer experiences. Veriday hires approximately 40 developers annually. Before implementing DevSkiller, Veriday’s hiring process was long, tedious, and costly. The biggest problem they faced was wasting time and resources interviewing unworthy candidates. These candidates only reached the interview stage because the screening process was not covering any technical skills.
After implementing DevSkiller, Veriday was able to reduce the manual intervention required to send and assess the technical test. They were also able to reduce their tech rejection by 25%. With DevSkiller, Veriday now interviews 30 developers (instead of 50) for every 10 hires they make.
“We have reduced the tech rejection which is great. We’ve seen a 25% improvement at this point after the implementation of DevSkiller. The platform really helps us to assess the programming skills of candidates and provide a logical approach to the problem-solving skills of IT professionals. DevSkiller saved us a lot of time while we had a ramp up and helped us to invite good quality candidates who have performed well in the test, which eventually improved the selection criteria.”

Che cos'è il RealLifeTestingTM?
The RealLifeTestingTM methodology is the foundation of all DevSkiller online tests, including Data Science coding questions. It goes beyond games and algorithm puzzles to provide a 360-degree view of a developer’s skills. At its core, The RealLifeTestingTM stems from the belief that the best way to evaluate a developer’s development skills is with a work sample test that mirrors the actual development work they’ll do. Our online tests require candidates to build full project apps or add features to existing apps, just like they’ll be doing after being hired. To do this they will need to show their knowledge of coding, in stack resources, resources like Stack Overflow to find solutions and decision making to find the best way to solve the problems they encounter. The results you see show the candidate’s coding skill, decision making, code cleanliness, and problem-solving skills.
How are Data Science online tests evaluated?
The platform gets to work straight away after the candidate completes the tests evaluating the solution. Shortly after, the results are generated into a report that is easy to understand and share across teams and departments. Candidates are evaluated on whether the solution would run (an essential factor in all software development), whether there are any errors in the code, the quality of the code, and how it works in edge cases. There are also robust plagiarism features that show you how similar the results are to previous solutions.
