That is not true at all. Since the 1st test wasn't timed, I didnt rush it and I didn't do it at a go(I had other very important commitments). Overall I completed the first test within about 32hours.
Since the 2nd test was timed, even though they said the timing doesnt matter, I didnt want to take any chances. I tried to finish it within 5 hours but I couldnt. I was on it for 6hrs when my laptop's battery died. I resumed about 6hrs later when I was able to get electricity (the time was still counting) and was able to finish about 3 hours later.
So all together, the time was reading about 15hours when I submitted.
And I scaled through the tests.

Well in my experience, that's how it seems. it's definitely not a coincidence that many times, the multiple accounts it was tried on prove and led to the conclusion that unless you are lucky and those who finished before you didn't perform well. that must have been the reason in your case.

the accounts that finished the test very late with same performance didn't make it.

The timer does not affect ur qualification. Just make sure you finish the obj and theory before the deadline set. Make sure all test re passed and all obj answers re correct

Oh! you definitely don't know andela that much. if you finish the test very late, regardless of your performance, you will not make it in unless you are lucky that only few people finish before you and only few perform better than you.
it has been tried on multiple accounts with same answers and solutions to all questions. For the first test, only the ones that finish within 30mins to 1hr is more likely to make it to next stage.

As for second test, if you finish after 2hrs, your chance of making it drops tragically.

Want to know why? the questions have become repetitive and many people already have the answers perfected in advance and they just copy/paste.
After the test is scored based on performance, then there is a further cut-off based on time...... believe it or not.

When gold becomes common it loses its value. likewise, your performance means nothing when too many people are performing equally or even better.

Damn i thought i applied for cycle 37. the deadline for the application was july 20, first test july 25 and second test aug 8. If that was cycle 36 then when did the application for cycle 37 started and ended? and it's the last.

I finished the coding test in 2hr 36mins with all the codes tested correctly by Qualified.io code checker.
Now this is the response i just got from andela.

{They saluted me for an act of courage and for taking that important step towards realizing my dream of becoming a world-class software developer blahblahblah!!! BUT Unfortunately, at this time, we can’t move forward with your application blahblahblah!!! }

Well maybe not perfect, but i work in a Bank morning till evening only applying my skill in financial analysis, risk management... Since i applied i sleep very late just to get a few hours of code learning every night, transition from accounting to programming isn't easy. Maybe I'm not good enough to deserve it but an interview at least would have been more appreciated than a damned salute.

Well to be candid, after all the knowledge of web development(HTML, CSS, JS + a bit of jQuery) accumulated in a little while, it felt really good to realise that one could still become a self made developer after navigating the wrong crowd for long. Andela rekindled that hope and i salute them back. I could move on from this point starting with automating most tasks for my couleagues.
Though i don't think any fresh coder would make it into andela with my experience now, there are probably some qualities the old fellas would possess... including more speed i suppose...

NE555:
Please am having Andela circle 37 very soon and I have been practicing
Please how does the questions look like??
Please help a bro

What cycle 37 again. The test has been done already and the deadline was August 08. And no other test has been scheduled yet.

I don't understand your question.
