Its becoming more and more common for companies to send an online assessment as a first step to filter candidates. Usually it's a Hackerrank or Codility that's given as the first step for the interview process.

My friend and I have done a number of online assesments in the past and we have more to do for summer 2021 SWE internships but we seem to be terrible at getting by them. In fact, there hasn't been a time either of us moved onto the next stage.

I have done about 50 leetcode problems, 70-80 if you include CTCI and hackerrank problems. However, I seem to still suck at the online assessments. I see others pass the OAs easily and some even cheat, but I found hackerranks to be difficult to search for solutions online.

Does anyone else experience this? What would you recommend I do in order to pass these online assessments so I don't fail on my job hunt.
