My boss once asked me whether their entrance test was too hard after several candidates sent him something that wouldn't even run.
I thought my entrance test was far too easy, I only had to create a blog in my web framework and show doing the basics like validations, secure parameters, etc.
I learned later on that most couldn’t pass because they came from other languages and thought they could get by without knowing anything.
