Optiver trading intern

I just took optiver’s first test which was a 8 minute math test with 80 questions. Does anybody know if they still take off a point for skipping a question or getting answers wrong? The page before I started the test said that they do. However, the instructions in their email said they don’t have negative marking. I got like 59 (could have gotten more but I was lazy and took the test just for fun) or something (skipped two, maybe 3... but I’m pretty sure I got everything else right). Did anybody recently take the test and know about this?
