Was it marked as a requirement by the job posting? Because if not, that's just a test of knowledge, not ability.

The test is the ability to apply knowledge, which is probably the only thing they need.

The commenter did say it was mentioned in the job listing.

Yes, I understand that it was mentioned, my question was whether it was mentioned as a requirement.

If the listing just said "LINQ-to-SQL knowledge a plus" but then gave you a test that actually required foreknowledge of it, then that's kinda shitty.
