If you are interviewing for 10-20 jobs in a particular week, a 2-4 hour take home test is a full time job 40 hours worth of work.

I would accept a 2-4 hour time commitment but only much later in the interview process, when much of the interviewing was done and the list was whittled down to 2-3 serious companies.

Seriously, if a company wants me to spend more than an hour of my time on something for them, they better be including a check as well.

Less competition for everybody else looking at the position, then.
