A gap says why: “Not found on the firm’s pages”, “Couldn’t be checked” when we couldn’t read or verify the page, or “No online test described”. Lines marked “Reported by candidates” are what applicants have said in public, not the firm’s own words. More firms are being added. Always confirm on the firm’s site before you apply.
