Amazon Online Assessment . Is my prep enough?

Hello folks, I have an amazon OA due in 2 weeks. I am planning to finish the Amazon card in LC before that, and try doing the amazon tagged questions by frequency (as much as i can). I am worried because this will be my first interview in a long time. Is there any topic i would need to focus on.? I heard amazon like graph/tree questions? What about DP? Also looks like i will have a coding session(2 problems) + LP questions+ some survey at the end. Total 90mins for all. For LP section, the recruiter has given me a link to LPs of amazon. Are reading those enough for OA? Would the interface be similar to LC where i can custom design my TCs and run multiple times to chexk if it passes all TCs before submitting? This is for SDE 2 position in Seattle. Thanks so much <3 Any other pointers that you think i should brush up on? Yoe: 4.5 TC : 120k

They said 90 minutes to do the coding + leadership Principle questions + a survey

No it’s 90 min coding. Then 15 min for writing about your code solution and then 30 min for LP + survey

Check glassdoor frequently asked questions. I had the same test a month back and the questions in glassdoor were very similar. Also, it is a LC type IDE but they expect you to solve the questions in their own IDE, not any other like other OAs.make sure you do not submit any question before the 90min timer/or till you are confident of yours answers because the submit button was at a weird location where it was easy to click by mistake. You will know how many test cases passed when you run your solution, but the test cases are hidden. I did not get a few passing the first attempt but I checked for a few edge cases and all did pass. First question was medium level and second was medium but it was slightly tricky to understand what they are asking. One tip - the questions are very verbose, almost essay types. Don’t get intimidated by reading them. It may help if you see the examples before reading the entire thing because that makes it look like a LC type question without all the jazz. Also, I felt 90 min was more than enough to solve them. All the best to you👍👍

Thanks man !! I appreciate it! Yeah i am looking to finish the explore section forst for amazon. 50 questions . Were you invited onsite?

LP questions were multiple choice ones. Don’t bother about them at this stage, they don’t need any prep like the on-site or behavioural round before onsite do. As for type of problems, when I had done research, I did not find DP problems common for OA and neither did I get them. Graphs and trees are always great to be prepared for, but also concentrate more on sorting/searching/arrays and you would be fine.

Practice writing your own test cases. When you run your solution it tells you how many passed/failed but not what the test cases are.
