Assessment with Epic

It took me 3.5h today to finish the test, from 11:00am to 2:30pm. There are three parts of the test: Math, Understanding a new language, and coding. Epic gives 5h maximum but time you use is also an evaluation.

1. Math problem. 14 of them I think. Easier than GRE quantity but has some weird questions. Mainly because I cannot understand what it is asking..
Eg. A goat jumps 3ft height per minute, and slide back 2ft per minute. If it wants to jump out of a cliff, which is 50.5ft, from the bottom. How many minutes does it take?

2. Given a new language, understand it and answer questions.
A new language is given and there are 20 questions. Not that hard at all.
Eg. the language has two forms of variables: string and integer, expressions are strictly operated left to right, boolean expressions. Variables are not declared type explicitly.
Functions like SET, READ, KILL.

3. Programming skills.
1) Long Subtraction -- Given two arrays A, B, each contains elements of digits, return an array of A - B. Your machine can only do calculation of less than 20.
eg. A = [1,2,5,7,5];
B = [3,4,8,9];
A - B = [9,0,8,6];

2) I forgot

3) Given a keyboard with every letter maps a digit from 0 to 9, return all possible permutation of given a n digit number.

eg. 0 <- z,a,q,x,s,w
1 <- c,d,e
2 <- v,f,r
3 <- b,g,t
...
Then permutation of num 1230 will be:
cvbz
cvba
cvbq
...

4) There is one kind of numbers call Fibonacci number (forgot the specific name), which satisfy the following situation:
A. can be spilt into several numbers;
B. The first two number are the same, the next number is equal to the sum of previous two
eg. 112 (2 = 1 + 1), 12,122,436(12 + 12 = 24, 12 + 24 = 36)
If you are given a range by the user, print all numbers that are Fibonacci number in the range.

I finished the first and second part with less than 1h, while Epic gives more than 2h to do. But I cannot finish question 4 on time, even though I was given more than 110 min...

  3. The goat question is easy. I had two hours to complete an Epic Assessment for a QA Analyst position and I used every minute and was unsure of 35% of my answers. Absolutely brutal test. But the goat is easy. It jumps 3, loses 2 feet per minute for a total of one foot per minute, so a 50 foot cliff jump would be 50 minutes. But there is no such thing as a 50 foot cliff, so the question is ambiguous and the "true" answer is that the jump is impossible. I remember this problem: There are two programmers in a hallway of 90 offices. The first is in the first office and walks at a rate of 2 offices per minutes, the second is in the last, 90th, office and walks at a rate of 4 offices a minute. If the two start walking toward each other, at which office will they meet? Awful. The programming section is impossible except for someone who is a genius, with variables that can be strings or integers, the function K which nulls, eg "", any variable that follows it. What is the value of K ABC K DEF or something similar. The test builds each question on a rule it establishes in each previous question so the effect is cumulative and mind stretching. It was brutal and I still don't know if I passed or not!! It truly tests your logic, math, and programming skills. Please wish me luck and if you're taking it, I wish you the best. Take your time!

    1. pls correct me if i am wrong. For the goat problem it would cover 48 feet in 48 minutes. When it jumps up for 3meters in the 49th minute it would jump out (48+3 =51) so it would be 49 minutes.

      Delete
    2. @Anonymous: I think your answer is right. It would take 48+3 minute to jump off the cliff. So it should be 49 minutes

      Delete
    3. Is the answer to the office problem 30?

      Delete
    4. They meet at office 30 but it takes 14.8 minutes

    5. That's not how I read this. It takes the goat 1 minute to jump up 3 ft, and another minute to slide down 2 ft....for a total of 1 foot up in 2 minutes!!
      It takes 1 minute to do each action; that's how I read it.

      Delete
    6. Unknown is correct. Your goat answer is wrong. "A goat jumps 3ft height per minute, and slide back 2ft per minute" So it gains 1 ft in 2 minutes. 3 up in a minute then 2 down in another minute = 1 up in 2 minutes. To go over the cliff at 50.5 ft, when it gets to 47 ft, it goes up 3, then down 2, at 48, it goes up an over. The answer is 47*2 + 1 = 95 minutes.

    7. Time = Speed x Distance

      Distance = 50.5 feet
      Speed = 0.5 feet per minute
      Goat jumps 3 feet in one minute, the next minute it slides 2 feet. So in total 2 minutes, it made 1 feet of progress. So the speed at which goat is jumping off the cliff is 1 feet per 2 minutes. To standardise the speed per minute, I divided 1 feet and 2 minutes by a factor of 2. Now that I have the speed in 1 minute format (0.5 feet per minute). Simply use the distance time speed formula.

      Time = 0.5 feet per minute (speed) x 50.5 feet (distance)
      Time = 101 minutes

      The goat took 101 minutes to jump off the cliff.

    8. Goats are not stupid, they wouldn't jump off a 50 ft cliff anymore than you or I would.

      Delete
    9. Goats ARE stupid!

      Delete
    10. You guys are overthinking the goat problem.
      Its simple as this.
      Going up the cliff -> 50 / 3 = 16.67 minutes
      Going down the cliff -> 50 / 2 = 25 minutes

      Total will be 16.67 + 25 = 41.67 minutes for round trip.

  29. Hello Everyone,

    I have Epic Sphinx assessment test coming up soon sometime this week. I have been told it will be three sections: Logical, Math, and Verbal. Just a week ago I even had no idea what the Epic is all about at all, Though, after I made some brief research I know now what the Epic is in general.

    Nevertheless, if anyone has the sample or practice questions about the Epic Sphinx assessment test that would be really very helpful. Also, if you have already taken the exam and you can give me what I need to prepare and where I can find them will be really great. I strongly appreciated if you could email/forward to RashidMDirir@gmail.com

    I appreciate any help and your kind response.

    Regards

  42. There's not really a way to prepare for this. As others have said there were 3 parts. The first part was the fake programming language. 20 questions. Not really that difficult. The second part had 20 questions. I assume they were all similar, however because there was only 5 minutes, I only made it to question 13.

    Mr. Bill doesn't smoke
    Mr. Ted's friends all smoke
    Mr. Turtle lives on a farm
    Mr. Turtle is a friend of Mr. Ted

    Then there were five parts to the question where you either marked T (True), F (False) or X (doesn't apply). If you truly spent time on the question reading it thoroughly, there's no way you answer them all in 5 minutes.

    The third part had a mixture of math problems and reading comprehension.

    We weren't allowed calculators, so doing the math sucked since you're doing it long handed on paper. Also, they made us surrender all scrap paper that we used.

    Good luck.
