Oracle’s aptitude test is one of the longest aptitude tests I appeared for in my placement phase. It was around 2hrs 30mins long.
Questions were from basically every subject I had studied like OS, CN, SDLC, etc. Questions weren’t too hard but the difficult part about this test is that it was divided into sections and sub-sections.
Each sub-section had its own independent time interval so bringing it down to like 10 quant questions in 14 minutes might sound easy but it’s not. So managing time is the only difficult part of this round.
