How automatically graded candidate final scores are determined
Candidates solving challenges on Coderbyte are rated on the following scales:
- Algorithm challenges: 1-10
- Front-end challenges (React, Angular, etc.): 1-10
- Back-end challenges (Node.js, C#, etc.): 1-10
- SQL, GraphQL, MongoDB challenges: 1-10
All of the challenge types above have test cases that run to make sure the candidates code produces the output it should. Each of those test cases is worth some number of points ranging from 1/2 a point to 1 point each.
Timing points
Legacy feature: This feature is no longer available on Coderbyte for assessments moving forward. If you have any questions, contact support.
For input/output algorithm challenges, scores can also factor in completion time.
The easy/medium algorithm challenges on Coderbyte have a range which they can usually be solved in. For example, let's say a challenge has an expected time of 30 minutes that you see in our challenge library.
- Candidate solves it in less than 20 minutes: 5 points awarded
- They solve it between 20 - 23 minutes: 4 points awarded
- They solved it between 23 - 26 minutes: 3 points awarded
- They solved it between 26 - 29 minutes: 2 points awarded
- They solved it between 29 - 30 minutes: 1 point awarded
- They solved it between 31+ minutes: 0 points awarded
To enable or disable completion time as a scoring factor, click Edit on any Assessment and then navigate to the (1) Settings tab. Find the (2) Scoring header and then select Yes to toggle on Include time period points in final score.
Note: You cannot modify this setting once any candidates have been invited to the Assessment.
