Flash CS3/ActionScript 3 ReviewNet Test
Recently I completed writing the test questions for ReviewNet’s Flash CS3/ActionScript 3 test. This was an exciting project as I had never had the opportunity to do anything like this before.
Occasionally, companies will test individuals based on what they have on their resume. For example, if you are looking to apply for a job and have Flash CS3/ActionScript 3 on your resume, you could be asked to take a test of this nature. ReviewNet would set you up with a scheduled test and you would answer all of the questions using their online interface.
I found writing the test much like interviewing a technical candidate at work. A lot of the questions are close to things that I would ask candidates if they came in for an interview. So, taking this test could actually be beneficial even if you are not being asked to take it as part of an interview.
If you every end up taking the test, you can write to me and let me know how easy/hard I made it for you. The test if targeted at Flash developers (not animators) who have 1-3 years of experience using Flash in general and have experience using ActionScript 3 and Flash CS3. The questions are heavily ActionScript related.

But if a company is not paying us to take the test, I imagine it will not be available publicly? I’d guess not, since it would give anybody reading your blog an unfair advantage.

Hey Ben,
Nice one! I did the Flex test for ReviewNet. Overall it was a pretty cool process. Writing the test questions for the Flex aptitude tests actually solidified some technical Flex and ActionScript 3.0 topics for myself.
Cool to see another Flash Platform developer who worked for them. I think their tests definitely will help companies judge potential candidates. I know the review process for my questions was pretty serious and the content turned out pretty solid.
Take it easy….
