About the Kotlin (Coding): Entry-Level Algorithms test

Kotlin is a cross-platform coding language designed to interoperate fully with Java. Kotlin has been the preferred language for Android app developers since 2019. Good Kotlin developers are therefore highly sought after.

Strong foundational knowledge of programming in Kotlin is essential for junior programmers. Those candidates are able to hit the ground running and set themselves up for further professional growth.

This Kotlin test gives candidates 10 minutes of time to complete a straightforward coding task involving entry-level algorithms. The code is evaluated against a set of test cases, some of which are available to the candidate to determine if they are on the right track.

This is a great initial screening test that allows you to effectively screen candidates based on essential skills.

We recommend combining coding tests with at least one of our cognitive ability tests evaluating numerical or analytical skills.

The test is made by a subject-matter expert

TestGorilla’s tests are created by subject matter experts. We assess potential subject-matter experts based on their knowledge, ability, and reputation.Before being published, each test is peer-reviewed by another expert, then calibrated using hundreds of test takers with relevant experience in the subject.
