Here's What Nobody Tells You
Interview anxiety kills performance
You blank out on questions you know. Your years of experience suddenly disappears. The interviewer waits while you scramble.
Everyone else is using AI
That "impressive" candidate before you? They had ChatGPT on their second monitor. You're not cheating, you're competing.
Proctored tests are getting stricter
TestGorilla records everything. HackerRank locks your browser. Generic AI tools are useless when you can't switch tabs.
