Oh, ok, so you did the other two tests too already. So essentially from what I heard, the hard part is over. For brain teasers, I know this site has a lot of material if you want to train your mind (although the site looks childish, some questions are way harder than what you could get in an...

Hey mate, Great to hear about the test. As I actually didn't pass it myself (would have liked to have my code for the simulator back then :S ) I can't really tell you anything more about the rest. I would tell you to look on the forum and places like glassdoor etc... You should find some...

Nope, unless you're in London or Amsterdam, you're doing it on the computer. Although the questions are essentially the same from what I hear. And people who pass it on the computer have to redo it on site apparently to prove they passed without cheating.

Well, good luck mate.

Hey again, Yeah, I guess the answer I/O isn't optimal. If I were you, I would try keeping four fingers (of left hand) on the 1,2,3,4 keys and a finger of your other hand consistently on the Enter key, in order to make it go faster. The actual test is easier for that, you just need to click on...

Actually, i just took a look at my invitation, and there is no mention of partial fractions. Maybe your test is a different one. If it is mentioned that it is an 8 minutes test. It probably is the same one. If they mention some other time or don't mention any at all. You probably will be taking...

What I meant was more that the source code is messy rather than hard to read. I didn't really put any effort in making the code general and I just dumped everything in one file. To answer your questions, The questions don't look like what you mentioned, I have only seen single operations in the...

Hey Hopefultrader, Well, I'm sorry your office laptop is blocked for such applications. I actually don't have any pseudo-code written down for the program, all I have is the source code that I'm sure you've already seen on github. The code is pretty hard to read, although if all you want to...

Hey again, I'm glad you got it to work. The initial .exe file you got might have been corrupted during download or something. Anyway, the point is that you got it to work now. From what I saw in the test, I could only answer no to all three of your questions. I coded every type of question...

Hey locksbox, I've tested the Windows binary on three machines now, two 32 bit and one 64bit machine. Worked on all three. I've also gotten it to run without any problem on a Linux machine using a windows emulator (wine). If it's a compatibility issue, I would suggest trying something like...

I posted a link that might be of interest there: http://www.trade2win.com/boards/trading-firms/30067-information-optiver-tests-5.html

Well, I did the test and and failed miserably, I tilted on the mixed numbers which I had seen for the last time in primary school... Anyway, I figured it was rather unfair that candidates weren't made aware of that kind of thing and in general I'm not sure it's the best way to select people...
