What the Final / Onsite tests

Candidate-reported specifics are limited; be ready to extend any earlier problem and to talk through a project end-to-end.

  • Some teams add a machine-learning project of about two weeks, which you then defend.

How to prepare for the Final / Onsite

  • Be ready for follow-up depth — QRT interviewers push a working solution toward optimization and edge cases.
  • Bring a project you can defend technically, from data and design choices through validation.

Final-week checklist

  • Heap/Huffman greedy for min-cost combination problems (O(n log n)).
  • Correlated normals: Y = ρX + √(1−ρ²)Z; P(X > 3Y) and the conditional quadrant version.
  • P(sum of 100 dice > 400) via CLT — memorize mean 350, variance 100·35/12.
  • Two-missing-numbers (sum + sum-of-squares / XOR) and a justified matrix-class data structure.
