I took the test (demo test at least).

Only 2 out of 6 questions had anything to do with UI/UX - the rest were either reading comprehension and/or basic math.

From the 2 that dealt with UI/UX, both were extremely hard, in one of them I had to send an email, get a token and navigate the site to send another email.

If this is what the results are based on, I wouldn't base any UI/UX decisions for web products on the results of this test.

The simulated environment also makes it more difficult. I accidentally tried to go back in the real browser instead of the simulated browser and broke the test. The simulated environment is also very slow.
And I requested the code 2 or 3 times until I realized there was a email tab at the bottom.
yeah, one of them told me to highlight a passage of text in some dense report about education effects. WTF does that have to do with "computer literacy"?!
Yeah isn't that just reading comprehension?
