Optiver Trading?

the 8 minute test is pretty intense. a passing score was 65/80. the test is also written in european notation, meaning that what would normally be 5 divided 2 will be written as 5:2.

the math itself is very very easy. stuff that anyone could do given enough time. but during the test you have 6 seconds basically per question...

also, i know of a few of my friends who passed (barely) the test but did not get interviews.

so what? if people didnt apply to every place that got into some legal trouble, people wouldn't be applying to nearly all the banks (treasury fraud), SAC, Citadel, etc.etc.etc.
