Well, people know that recruiters have the opinion about quizzes, so they think it is pointless to discuss :) > > Why do you say that working on the quizzes will get you rejected?

The main problem is that lots of (not all) people think, if they have quizzes done, they are ready to be developers, some of them even think if they copy-pasted the answer and give us the quote it is ok and they will pass. The answer for both statements is no. > I've > recommended them to potential contributors in the past as a way to > highlight the areas where they might need to improve, and to generally > improve their knowledge of the devmanual. Quzzes are being treated as an obstacle to be a dev, like "wow, I have to answer so much questions to be the dev, I have no time for this". The short answer is: "if you have no time to fill quizzes you are not ready to be the dev", people who are ready spend very little amount of time filling them with zero difficulty. > > Once the new developer finds a mentor, I would think it saves everyone > valuable time if he has a first draft of the quiz prepared. >
