The assessment was in Stata using public microdata, with a set of questions that were described as fairly basic if you already knew how to use the tool, but still required real accuracy and time management.

Once I cleared the data stage, the next conversations became more research-flavored. I had calls with program managers where they tested not just general interest, but my understanding of the scholars’ work and how the research fit
