  1. 1.Short text

    What is it called when a model does well on training data but generalizes poorly to unseen data?

    The typical symptom is training loss that keeps falling while validation loss rises. Answer with the name of the phenomenon.

  2. 2.Long text

    Describe a research project you led, from experiment design to conclusions.

    Use a real project where you played a central role. Cover: the hypothesis, how you designed the experiments and chose the baselines, what the results showed (including negative results), how you communicated the conclusions and exactly what your individual contribution was.

How this template was made, and what you can check

  • Are these the real questions?

    Yes. The questions on this page are the questions a candidate gets. They are not samples written for the site: they come from the template itself, word for word.

  • Why are some questions missing from this page?

    Any question with a recorded answer key is left out, so that reading this page cannot help anyone pass. The count of what is missing is shown; the questions themselves appear once you copy the template.

  • Which language does the candidate see?

    Every template exists in English and Portuguese. The candidate answers in theirs and you read in yours.

  • Will this template work on my plan?

    Question types are checked against your plan by the database itself, so a template never promises a type your plan cannot run. Building assessments and collecting answers is free; automatic scoring starts on the Starter plan.

  • Can I change the questions?

    Once you copy it, the template is yours: change the wording, drop a question, add your own. None of this is fixed.

  • How fast can I send it?

    Create a free account, copy the template and share the link. The candidate opens it in the browser, with nothing to install.
