Anyone do a take home assessment on Coderpad before?

CoderPad can be either full stack or just single-file DSA questions. It has historically been DSA focused. I would ask the recruiter or the company. They have a new/beta proctoring feature, but I would guess they aren't using that or logging what you do OUTSIDE of CoderPad. But they can playback keystroke by keystroke what you do in the pad and your presence. I've watched a lot of recordings and you can kind of tell when someone is cheating or otherwise, long pauses doing nothing at all for example, or copy pasting partial code and working with it like you don't understand etc... You can identify suspicious stuff through copy paste, and clicking, and then have a human look over that section. I would ask the recruiter for starters though to see what type of assessment it is. Instead of worrying about being tracked, just plan on doing it authentically and you'll be fine.
