    Hi guys, I got 4/4 2/4 3/4 3/4 for my arctic shores test, got stressed and kinda messed it up. Will that cause an autoreject from NRF? Am I below the benchmark, and does anyone know what the benchmark is?

    True, but it doesn't really make sense that they would make their recruitment team go through hundreds and hundreds more applications, VIs, and written answers. My guess is that they work fast and review applications as they come in so as soon as the first OA is done they can send the job sim...
