Slot Analysis

? The assessment platform used was TCS iON. ? A few questions in Numerical Ability did not have the correct answer in the options. In this

case, please take the liberty to mark any option. ? As already revealed during the DRC and by FACE Prep, both intra-sectional and inter-sectional

navigation were not possible. ? Every question was mandatory, and only upon completing a question would you be able to go to

the next question.

? Revisiting of answers already submitted is not possible. ? There was no negative marking. ? All test-takers within the slot got the same questions. ? The test was NOT Adaptive, for a lot of other websites incorrectly communicated this to

students. FACE Prep accurately pointed out that the test was not adaptive ? just that the test had no intra-sectional and inter-sectional navigation. ? There was 100% repetition of topics, as accurately predicted by FACE Prep. ? There was the presence of an on-screen calculator, which candidates could use. ? As clearly pointed out in the test instructions by TCS, if one had to do rough work, it must be visible clearly in the webcam that one is doing rough work and not performing any malpractice. This has also been accurately pointed out by FACE Prep earlier. ? There were two Fill in the Blanks type questions in the programming MCQs section. ? As opposed to what was predicted earlier, an error log is generated in the compiler in the event of Compilation error. It mentions what error and where the error is(line number) ? Most students have been complaining about the Coding Compiler not working properly on Python. What doesn't work is the tab key for indentation. Instead, please use the space bar. Several students have been able to use this tactic to compile successfully.
