Amazon cool off after failed online assessment

I failed an Amazon online assessment. During, and after the session I realized that I was never prepared for that. I needed to do more medium/hard LC. The recruiter told me that the cool off is 6 months. Although, I feel I should be ready before that. Is the cool off really 6months after just the online test? Also, what are other companies that give a similar level of tests that I can use as practice. I recently did BlackRock and found that it is LC easy all the way through online and onsite.

Just hit up the recruiter when you are ready.

The online assessment cool off can be bypassed if you have a recruiter and ideally a hirimg manager who wants to put you through a loop. I didnt fail the online assessment but got autorejected when the new grad positions filled up. My recruiter there was a six month hold but i can bypass it by applying with a new email

You could try giving the leetcode contest every week. That's a much better strategy for interview prep than giving onlines of other companies

Was it a two sum problem? And a dp or graph problem?

Not a two sum. It was a dynamic product suggestion problem - I got this to pass 5/15 cases. The other was like critical connections in a network (graph).
