Submitting your answers and changing submissions

Your hiring company uses our platform to design your HackerRank Tests. Therefore, the Test pattern, the type, and sequence of Questions, and the time allocated to complete a Test are defined by the test setters. 

For Candidates taking the company's assessments on the HackerRank platform, the Test interface is intuitive and allows for easy navigation through the Questions. During the Test, the interface lets you revisit your already submitted answers for making modifications and allows resubmission. You can modify and submit your answers any number of times before the Test ends.

 Note: For Coding Questions, when you modify an already submitted code, you must re-compile the updated code before resubmitting. Refer to the Can I resubmit my answers in the Test topic for detailed information on resubmitting your coding answers.

Submitting your answers to different Questions

Apart from the primary coding Questions, your HackerRank Tests may also include various other types of Questions such as:

1. Multiple-choice
2. Diagram ( involving class diagrams and flowcharts )
3. Sentence completion or Fill-in-the-blanks
