Can I use other programming languages to answer the coding questions instead, such as R?

Hi Daphne! Thanks for your question! The level of coding knowledge we are asking for it’s a basic one and yes you will be able to use other coding languages when answering the questions! Thanks!

Thanks for asking this Daphne! Just to follow up, what if we've just picked up a course on learning SQL, Python or Power BI but are not able to answer questions in the coding section. How would be approach this? Skip the questions? Or...

HI Diana, thanks for your reply! It was so helpful to know 💖 Nice day!
To Diana S.: Yes Diana, this may happen during the coding section, so maybe we need to get a basic understanding of those most common coding languages in case we encounter these questions? :)

Aahahha, timing of the application submition and my course is the issue with this one mainly :)) but you're right - the whole point is that you don't know what you're being asked until it's asked. More reason to learn more!

Following this, if the main code being used for the job isn't what I used in the assessment, will this affect my results? Or does the technical assessment assess code logic only?

No we will base the results on the logic and not the language you have used.
