�How to Prepare for an IBM Coding Assesment:
1) Choose Your Programming Language:
Choose an object-oriented programming language you’re comfortable with, Python, Java,
or C++, and master the basics. Practice preparing programs in this language and
understand the nuances of the language.
2) Know Your Basics:

Learn the basics of data structures and algorithms thoroughly. Learn the basics and keep
practicing. Solve as many previous IBM coding challenges as you possibly can.
3) Spend Time on Solving Problems:

Coding challenges are not that easy. They take hours to solve. While practicing, follow this
technique: 1) Understand the problem description, and next, think about how to approach
it.
� Tips to crack the IBM coding Assessment:

1) Create a Study Plan:
Create a study plan of Technical Topics To Cover.
2) Focus on the Test Input:
All coding challenges come with a test input to verify that your solution works.
This test input rarely covers all edge cases. The ideal solution should not only
handle test input, but it should be able to handle all possible edge cases. Most of
the time, developers make the mistake of spending more time handling edge cases,
and they miss the chance to handle test input in a robust way.
3) Review and Refactor Your Code:
Once you are done with the solution, don’t be tempted to close the IDE and submit
the solution. Take time to review the code and remove any unused methods and
variables. Try to check if there is any scope for refactoring. You can avoid these
simple mistakes — making these mistakes will leave an impression that you are not
serious enough.
4) Be Prepared for Constructive Criticism:
Once the solution is submitted, the next step would probably be a discussion with
the recruiter over the phone or a pairing interview where you’re challenged to
extend your solution to include new requirements. Be ready to accept the feedback
provided by the reviewer positively and not go into the Défense mode.
