What the real round usually looks like

Most SQL interview tests are ten to twenty multiple-choice questions, sometimes followed by a short practical task. 80% pass mark; analyst and backend screenings expect joins and grouping. Requirements vary by employer, so treat the benchmark as a floor.

Common questions

Which database does the test assume?

Standard SQL. Where syntax differs (LIMIT versus TOP, date functions), the explanation says so.

Do I need to know window functions?

Not for this test. They appear in some analyst interviews; the query-writing set mentions one.

Is this enough for a data analyst role?

It covers the SQL part of most screenings. Analyst roles also test Excel and sometimes a BI tool.
