Start the test

The clock starts as soon as you click. Your paper is drawn fresh, so a second sitting is a different set.

Proctored sitting

  • Laptop or desktop only, with a webcam. Phones and tablets can't start a test.
  • The test runs full screen, with the site's navigation hidden.
  • Your webcam stays on and is checked on your computer — nothing is recorded or uploaded.
  • Leaving full screen, switching tab or window or minimising blurs the paper — and so does the camera seeing no one, someone else, a phone, or you looking away. The clock keeps running.
  • Each is a warning; the third ends the sitting. It is graded so you can review it, but marked disqualified and never counted as your best.
  • Pasting, copying, right-click and printing are off.

Before you start

Adobe's campus paper is the most straightforward on this list: three equal sections, hard-locked at twenty minutes each.

  • A minute a question, with no slack anywhere.
  • No negative marking, not adaptive.
  • Time does not carry between sections.

The sixty-minute coding round that follows is not part of this paper.

How to prepare for this pattern

A guide to the Adobe campus aptitude pattern: three equal sections of twenty questions, twenty minutes each, where the only difficulty in the format is the pace.

What the paper looks like

Three sections, sat in a fixed order: Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning and Verbal English, each 20 questions in 20 minutes. That is 60 questions in 60 minutes. Each question is worth one mark, there is no negative marking and the paper is not adaptive. Each section is hard-locked at twenty minutes: it closes when you leave it, and time does not carry from one section to the next. The sixty-minute coding round that follows is not part of this paper. Two prep portals agree on this shape, differing only on the coding round, and an off-campus variant with a different shape is also reported.

How to prepare, section by section

The coding round is not modelled here; the DSA roadmap is the place to prepare for it.

On the day

A minute a question with no slack anywhere means the main risk is one question eating three minutes. Set yourself a rule: if a question has not given way in about ninety seconds, choose your best option and move on, and come back only if time remains in that section. In Logical Reasoning, take the series and coding questions first and leave the arrangements for a second pass. No negative marking means every question should carry an answer before its section closes. Finishing a section early earns nothing, since time does not carry over, so use any spare minutes to recheck calculations.

This mock is modelled on the published Adobe campus pattern of three twenty-question, twenty-minute sections; CodeKairo is not affiliated with Adobe.

An inference about policy

Antibiotic resistance is not a future risk but a present one. Every course of antibiotics kills the susceptible bacteria and leaves the resistant to multiply, so resistance is the predictable result of use rather than of misuse alone. Misuse merely accelerates it. This is why the response has two halves that are often confused: using existing drugs more sparingly buys time, but only new classes of drug can replace what is being lost.

Which statement follows from the passage?

  1. Reducing prescriptions alone will not permanently solve resistance.
  2. Misuse plays no part in resistance.
  3. New antibiotics would make careful prescribing unnecessary.
  4. Resistance can be eliminated within a decade.
Show the answer

A. Reducing prescriptions alone will not permanently solve resistance. Worked solution
