Fundamentals
Explain the basics and the key terms in your own words.
- 2
Applied
Use it on a real task, the way the job does.
- 3
Scenario
Decide in a realistic situation and explain the trade-offs.
Freshers start at the fundamentals. With 1 to 6 years of experience, questions start at the applied step.
