On one hand you can say "what do you have to lose" and just go for it, but on the other hand, I feel like it's quite embarrassing if you are being tested and fail miserably. In the IT field, there's so many specialties and a lot of postings are very broad so you don't know exactly what you're going into. I'm sure employers get a lot of people who obviously don't qualify after being tested but is it just par for the course for them or do they feel like people waste their time? I used to be the worst test-taker in school and I suppose it's an anxiety of mine, especially after all these years.

It depends on whether the results are scored and given immediately or you wait to hear from them. It's not that embarrassing to get a letter a week later. We will do a 20 minute "work sample project" after interviews and the
candidates are gone before we look at their work.
