I bombed it It was not difficult by any means, but I just lost it and made some silly mistakes...

I wouldn't worry too much. Admissions mentioned it's just another data point and that they look at your application holistically

Also made a stupid mistake in a math question and submitted the quizz early, though I had a lot of time left... Can only blame myself!
Hope it'll still go well for us

 

[LA Quant]

Best of luck on the behavioral interview everyone!

That's the real question... Imo, there would be some sort of minimum cutoff, and above that cutoff, some sort of weightage w.r.t to the other parts of the application. At least that's how I would approach the problem objectively.

 

[k_t]

did ya'll really find the test that easy? It was not the most basic question bank by any means imo...

I thought it was quite challenging, not the whole thing but 2 of the questions were quite bad
