Updates to Hubspot Online Assessment Format?

I’m wondering if anyone has noticed changes to the Hubspot online assessment lately. I remember reading that it used to be a 3-hour exam, but when I received mine it was only 90 minutes long.

I’m curious about a few things:

  • Are the question types still the same even though the time is shorter?
  • Do the internship and entry-level assessments have similar difficulty levels?
  • Any tips from people who completed it recently?

I chose the frontend development track when given the option. Would appreciate hearing about anyone’s recent experience with this assessment.

took mine last month - it’s definitely 90 mins now. felt rushed but the questions weren’t terrible. frontend track had css flexbox and a small react component to build. fair difficulty for entry level, just testing if you know the basics rather than trying to trick u. practice coding under time pressure beforehand.

Yeah, the format’s changed a lot this past year. I took it six months ago for a frontend role and got the 90-minute version. Questions were solid despite being shorter - they focused on practical coding instead of theory stuff. From talking to people who did both tracks, internship vs entry-level covers similar concepts but entry-level goes deeper into system design and wants cleaner solutions. The frontend track hit JavaScript basics, React components, and some algorithms. What surprised me was how much they cared about readable code and comments. Don’t just solve it - explain your thinking as you go, even when you’re rushing. Time’s tight but doable if you nail the core requirements first, then optimize if there’s time left.

I took the assessment three weeks ago - it’s now 90 minutes. The shorter time actually helps since they cut out the fluff and focus on what matters. For frontend, you’ll get one main coding challenge plus a few smaller technical questions. Difficulty’s fair for entry-level - they’re not trying to trick you with weird edge cases, just testing if you know basics like DOM manipulation and state management. Read the requirements twice before you start coding. I misread part of the prompt and had to redo stuff, which ate up time I didn’t have. The code editor’s pretty basic, nothing special. Make sure your internet’s solid - there’s no pause button once you begin.
